Question 15K SAS HDDs for HP Proliant Server ?

[garalnabi]

I have an HP ProLiant Gen 8 Server. It has 4 x 148GB 15K SAS HDDs. I would like to upgrade each of them to
1TB. The problem is that I can only find 1TB 10K SAS HDDs in the market, not 15K SAS. Would that be a problem ? Will the server work with other than 15K SAS HDDs ?

provided you're referring to the DL380p 8Th Gen Server.

Can you pass on the drives you're looking at? As a rule of thumb, you should make sure your entire server has the same drive(all the way down to the RPM as well), meaning if you drop in a 10K drive, the rest should be identical instead of mixing drives.

Are you considering HP "certified" 10K drives? If not, you'll probably see messages during POST saying the drives are not "supported". Fine if you're running TrueNAS Core or some other non-HP OS, but it might be a problem if you have a support agreement with HP.

Hp does not care about drives as the drives are being controlled by a raid card, but you will get a message during bootup for non hp ram.

We run 8 HP sas drives, 2 in raid 1 for OS and 6 in raid 5 for VMs/their space and 5 WD drives in raid 5 for one VM as a file storage in our HP dl380 gen9 server and it does not care about the drives. I did swap out the 128GB of hp ram for 256GB of non HP ram and it complains during bootup about it, but boots just fine with no issues.
