In HP.com, where can I find the spare parts compatible with my servers?

[LongbBo]

I have a set of bl460c G6 and bl680c G5 servers.

Now I want to buy some larger hard disk drives (600GB or larger ) to replace its original ones (300GB 2.5inch 10k dual-port)

In HP.com where can I find the larger ones compatible with my servers?

And what is the differeces between Single Port or Dual Port SAS drive?

Thanks!

You could try this link:

http://shopping1.hp.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/WW-USSMBPublicStore-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewApplication-DisplayCachedWelcomePage

In the ‘Search for:’ field at the top right hand side, type the option part of the drive to view price and ordering.

Following is the link of BL460c G6 server’s QuickSpecs:

for BL680c G5:

Dual port drives has two ports. This allows the drive to operate at 6GB/s instead of the regular 3GB/s (port combining for superior performance). Further a dual port allows the drive to continue functioning if and when one port becomes nonfunctional (eliminates single point of failure).

http://partsurfer.hp.com might work as well. Quickspecs is the place to find if a part is supported with your server.
