Re: E200 controller and 3TB drives incompatible with Proliant DL180G5

Hello Rodrigo,
The current DL180G5 QS have been updated to no longer list the 3TB drives as supported drives.
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12903_na/12903_na.pdf

[Moderator note: Removed the broken link. Please refer to https://support.hpe.com/ ]

There will be no fw fix made to resolve this SA controller is End Of Live (EOL).

 

The best would be to use and try 2TB drives as some claim that those works or use any other supported HP drive.


Best Regards, Jeroen

Re: E200 controller and 3TB drives incompatible with Proliant DL180G5

Hi, I recently got an old ML350 G5 server from work to repurpose into a home server. I will try to upgrade the firmware to the latest version of the HP smart array E200i, I will buy WD RED 2TB drives, since I've heard that larger drives are not supported. My question is, will I be able to build a full raid array with 6x2TB configuration?

Hi ,

 

Kindly do not waste your money for buying 2TB HDD's  as ML 350G5 server's E200i controller support internal storage upto 3TB only.   If you want to use 2TB drives then go for P410 /512MB BBWC  or P420/1GB FBWS controller.

Hi, did anyone find out if this was possiable ? I'm looking to buy 4 x 2tb wd drives to add either 4tb raid 1 or 8tb raid 0.

Re: E200 controller and 3TB drives incompatible with Proliant DL180G5

I have just purchased a brand new Segate Barracude 1Tb drive ST1000DM010

It isn't recognised and the light is red next to the hotswap extraction handle in the frame of my HP server.

It's only 1Tb I would have thought it would be supported long ago.

Perhaps I need to upgrade firmware on the E200?

Is there a list of compatible drives somewhere?
