Hi Guys,
I have a Dell PowerEdge R610 and I have for the data drives a RAID 5 consisting of 4x300 GB SAS drives of 10krpm.
I need to upgrade these to 600 GB 10krpm. Now the drives on the Dell website are much more expensive then those compatible seagate drives seen on amazon, is there are difference? are the ones on amazon advertised as 100% compatible less reliable? will they work in my server?
the drives I am talking about are as follows:
Dell: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=342-0851&mfgpid=202469
Compatible: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Compatible-600GB-0XXR60-Comes/dp/B009WU2M3C/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1390409170&sr=1-2&keywords=dell+r610+XXR60
Your help is highly appreciated.
