Are Dual port and single port SAS drives interchangeable

[crimper]

I have a G5 DL360 with 2 10K SAS Drives (432320-001) at a remote location. It has 4 empty disk slots. At my current location I have 4 DualPort SAS drives (418399-001). Before I ship these drives can somebody please confirm that the DualPort drives will work in the G5 DL360?

Hi crimper,

Plan 1 : its good work.
SAS Array A
432320-001
432320-001

SAS Array B
418399-001
418399-001
418399-001
418399-001

Plan 2 : will drive performance problem.

SAS Array A
432320-001*
418399-001

SAS Array B
432320-001*
418399-001
418399-001
418399-001

Dual port drives will work in place of single port driver but not vice versa. So technically they are not interchangable but what you are planning on doing will work.

These are ML350 G4 drive parts but since the first two worked in the DL360 G5 the other four should work as well.

How are you planning to use the new drives?
