DL585 G2 compatible drives?

[Qube]

Hey i just got 2 DL585 G2 servers and i need some harddrives.
Is it possible to use any harddrive as long as it's a 2.5" sas drive?

Could somebody recommend me any drives?

Would a Toshiba "2.5 model: MBF2300RC 300GB SAS 10000RPM be a possibility?

So does this mean that only hp drives are compatible?

HP recommended to Install an HP HDD, but if you want to install additional hard disk from another manufacturer make sure you have the same characteristics.
