Background: my company needed some internal, reliable servers for internal data. (we normally use cloud). Being a small company, we have scanty budget, but also flexibility. We picked up a number of HP DL360 G6 at an enormously good price (as far as we could tell). They each came with 4 x 2.5' hitachi 1TB 7200 SATA drives, 6 core CPU, and 72 GB RAM. Our requirements are cheap, reliable, and far third, lots of storage space. I'm not an experienced hardware guy FYI, but I've spent a week of late nights googling and experimenting to get to here. Smart Array P420i Controller FirmwareUse HP SAS disks with Smart Array P410 RAID controllers. SATA drives will downshift speed to 3.0Gbps on that controller. You can have monitoring and fan speed problems with random SATA disks on that controller. Use the links on this page to download the latest version of Smart Array P410 Controller drivers. All drivers available for download have been scanned by antivirus program. Apr 10, 2014 Hi, Running XenServer 6.2 with P410 RAID controller. Everything is fine except raid management. Hardware installed remotely and it is difficult to rea. Setting smart array P410i to HBA mode? Riser and lsi controller, I'll just go with a couple raid 1 arrays, and not do a massive amount of data storage. Now I think I need the help of someone who actually knows hardware. This is what it seems to me so far: • The hitachi's can't be monitored by the P410i (lacking compatible SMART support?) and so ILO reports a drive bay heat problem and the fans kick on to 80% regardless of OS / drivers • Taking out all but one of the drives doesn't change the situation • At this point, after googling numerous articles about HP fan noise, I was getting worried. We have a small server room, but the thunderous noise from a bunch of these would have disturbed the office. Hp P410 Specs• I took out the hitachi's and plugged in a Samsung evo 256GB. Instant quiet - fans running blissfully at 15%, barely more noise than my desktop. Operating system and drivers making no difference. I can happy install the latest *nix version of my preference without concerning myself with HP agents to manage the fan speed. • Now, just having a single configuration that works, I have a way forward, however buying a whole bunch of small old model Samsung SSD doesn't seem the -ideal- solution. (just because i chanced on a drive that works). Question: Can anyone with experience with the P410i and SATA drives share their experience - which models are -known- to work. Not just spinning up and booting, but also being happily monitored by the system (with or without) needing drivers. I did look for some sort of official compatibility list, but given the age of my gear. Nothing:/ EDIT: I should mention I've checked the ILO and the motherboard firmware is up to date. I haven't checked the P410i yet, will do that when I get back to work. (but I think everything was flashed up to date before I got them). EDIT2: Probably worth mentioning that getting the hitachis to work would be nice, but isn't vital. I'll use anything that will keep the fan noise whisper quiet:) ANSWER: Dont fight the fed, for the cost differential just get the vendor hardware. HP SAS 2.5 sas drives on the way. Pour the soda out into a kitchen sink or toilet. Put on the work gloves. Step Put a sheet of newspaper on a table. Lobang antenna wifi acer hp harga. Stand the soda can on the newspaper. Step Score around the top rim of the soda can using the blade of the utility knife. I hope the fans remain silent:). I have tested WD Reds (WDC WD10JFCX-68N) in some DL360 G6 servers without any unexpected issues. They work fine, but as expected are a bit slower than 7200 RPM SATA drives. Here is some example output from ssacli ctrl all show config detail with some details obscured to show how they compare to HP branded SATA drives.
