Using an Ultra320 HD in an Ultra3 system?

[Ted Cole]

Does anyone know if you can safely use an Ultra320 HD in an Ultra3 system? I have several Proliant DL380 w/ Ultra3 controllers, have an option on a good deal on some larger Ultra320 drives, hence my question.
Thanks,
Ted

Hello Ted,

U320 is backward compatible,it'll work @ U3 speed.

For more specific information,provide the server generation and the smart array controller?

Hi Ted:

Go ahead and use them. The u320 drives are 100% backward compatable and you can safely use them in the older servers u2,u3 scsi backplanes.

Go, doit, don't worry about it, the U320 HDD will work at U3... so don't worry about compatibility.
