Re: GEN8 Drives
Since many years we prefer to use HP Servers since they are rocksolid. Now we bought our first machine of Gen8 and feel quite patronized about the enforcement to buy only HP harddiscs for this machine. It's not that we don't like to buy original HP parts. But as long as HP SSDs and HDDs cost up twenty times more than comparable parts form other manufacturers we don't wanna choose them.
Now we decided NOT to buy more Gen8 machines as long as this situation won't be liberalized.

Re: GEN8 Drives
Be careful! I doubt HP will warranty you if you buy these.
Don't buy unless they are authorized hp reseller!

Re: GEN8 Drives
From my experience the older HP disks work perfectly when mounted in G8 frames. We installed even SSD drives (not from HP) and had no issues with them.
I think there is no change to the drives from G7 to G8... only the frames have changed.

Re: GEN8 Drives
Hello @Nelson Kaeppel
Rguha is correct, the HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 Smart Storage solutions are equipped with entirely re-designed Small Form Factor (SFF 2.5 in) and Large Form Factor (LFF 3.5 in) hot plug carriers for HP Qualified Hard Drives and Solid State Drives. These new carriers provide status and activity indicators as well as caution indicators. Therefore the hard drives from previous models are not compatible with the HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 series.
You can see that statement on the bottom of page 34 of the HP ProLiant DL360p QuickSpecs, you can also see all available HP Hard drives for the HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 server series on pages 35 through to the bottom of page 39 of the HP QuickSpecs.
Please let me know if you need more information, I will be happy to connect you to HP experts that can assist further.

Re: GEN8 Drives
@LSW
And how do you explain that all the old HP drives (drive only) work without any problem...? Even if all the docs say that this is not possible? Of course you have to change the frames... the old frames will not fit into a G8.
I have looked at one of the G8 frames and I think all they did was to move the LED lighting and indicating stuff from the backplane to the disk carrier frame. And they added a few more LEDs to create a circulating animated activity display.
The only difference is that "DO NOT REMOVE" LED that lights up white when another disk in the RAID is already gone.
Absolutely no changes were made to the disk drives itself because this would be too much trouble and cost too much.

Re: GEN8 Drives
Hi @PDP-Fan
This configuration has not been tested or supported by HP and therefore HP cannot guarantee compatibility. However, I am glad that you found a way to make other drives work in the HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 server. Please let me know if you need any other assistance.

Re: GEN8 Drives
See here

Not only the LEDs are different, but the frame has also a NVRAM chip.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Interesting.... and there must be a way to erase that data... ;-)
