ProLiant ML310e Gen8 V2 Hard Drive Compatibility

[fozzie_17]

I have recently purchased a used ProLiant ML310e for my home network and it currently houses 2xHP 1TB drives but it can hold 4. I have heard that certain servers will only accept/recognise hard drives from the same manufacturer and you cannot use other drives. 

Is there a compatability list of what hard drives are supported by the ML310e? ie am I able to put a WD Red 2TB SATA HDD into this?

If I can only use the same HP HDD's that are currently in there, can I purchase these new anywhere? I have searched using the part numbers and I only seem to find used ones. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We recommended to use HPE certified disk only and plese find the compatabiltiy disk in bleow link

Refer :HPE Hard Drives page 19.

You need to purcahse HPE HDD from HPE authorised stores or partner.

Not guarantees but I’ve heard lots of similarities between ml and dL series hp systems. See the table here
