For years we have been sourcing our own disks and carriers to put in DL320 and DL160, up through G6. Non-HP disks have always worked GREAT.
Gen8 is more hardware-aware and I've been told disks that are NOT branded HP (with HP firmware) causes Gen8 machines to throw amber warning LEDs and errors.
True? Any workaround?
I want to try 4x Samsung 850 PRO SSDs in a new Gen8 server, but don't want to risk $2,400 of disks only to have them not work or show amber LED warnings all the time.
What has been YOUR experience running non-HP disks in Gen8 servers? (we have a batch of DL160 Gen8 boxes)
