PROLIANT ML350 G5

[SAS Hdd 2.5]

Can i replace SAS Hdd
(p/n: 434916-001) with
(P/n: 512545-b21) ?

Thanks a lot

I think its not compatible because:
Option Part# 512545-b21
Spare Part# 512743-001
Hot-Plug 72GB 6G 15K rpm, SFF 2.5" Dual-Port SAS hard drive

Spare Part# 434916-001
Hot-Plug 72GB 3G 10K rpm, SFF 2.5" Single-Port SAS hard drive

It also depends weather the smart array controller supports 6G.

How difference from 3g to 6g ?

6G SAS is just version 2.0 of SAS.
If you just make sure the firmware is updated I dont think you will get any problems.

The disk will probably just step down to 3Gbit/s mode.

Ok.
Thanks to all !
I've thinking tu buy 512545, because i've found only refurbished Hdd with p/n 434916.
But if only problem was down speed of new disk, my choice are Ok and proceed.
