ML150G3 HDD Carrier

[Adam Chiarotto]

Are the hot-swap carriers required for HDD installation into the ML150G3?

Hello Adam,

All hot-plug disks come with the carriers or caddy,just slide the disk into the drive bay.

Oh, so they are suppose to be special drives.
They sent me regular SATA Seagate Barracuda drives in no special carrier. I ordered everything off CDW.ca and they said everything would be compatible, however they did send me unbuffered RAM when buffered is required so I should not have been suprised.
Now I have another 4 items to RMA
Thanks for the response

It depends if you ordered a non hot plug model if i am not wrong.

this is a link to what i ordered
http://www.cdw.ca/shop/products/specs.aspx?EDC=1017870
it says 6-hot-swap bays so i would assume it is the hot-swap model, but I may be wrong.

From the link the Pid is 399155-001 which is definitely a Hot Plug SAS Model.

To make full use of the features, you may want to opt for hot-plug disks.

Thanks for the part no.
Do the hot-swappable HDDs come with the carrier for proper installation into the hot-swap bays? Is it the carrier itself that makes the HDDs hot swappable or are the HDDs themselves special?
