BL465c G1 - Higher Capacity SAS Drives

[sgunelius]

I'd like to press a BL465c G1 back into service, but need more internal storage and the QuickSpecs listed the HP 146GB 3G SAS 10K SFF as the highest capacity drive this server (and its E200i storage controller) can accommodate.  I made a call to HP and they stated that there is 300GB equivalent drive that'll work, but does anyone know if any of the following drives listed in the QuickSpecs for G6 model (also E200i) will also work?

Part Number      Description

507127-B21         HP 300GB 6G SAS 10K rpm SFF (2.5-inch) Dual Port Enterprise 3yr Warranty Hard Drive

581284-B21         HP 450GB 6G SAS 10K rpm SFF (2.5-inch) Dual Port Enterprise 3yr Warranty Hard Drive

581286-B21         HP 600GB 6G SAS 10K rpm SFF (2.5-inch) Dual Port Enterprise 3yr Warranty Hard Drive

Thank you.

Thanks for the quick response!  I found the E200i QuickSpecs this morning before I checked the forum.  So I guess I could even consider the 900GB 6G SAS 10K, granted the E200i is only capable of 3G SAS, so it would step down, but I really need the capacity without going to SATA.  Thanks again.
