Hello,
I am looking into replacing a disk on my PowerEdge 2900. The disk is a "600GB, 15K RPM, Serial-Attached SCSI, 6Gbps, 3.5 inch, HotPlug Hard Drive", original part number W347K.
I reached out to my Dell sales rep, and provided them that information and asked for a quote . They sent me a quote for "Hard Drive,600G,SAS6-E,15K,3.5,Seagate,Eagle", part number 5XTFH. Looking into this part number, I'm seeing that it has what’s called “SED” or “Self-Encrypting Drive technology”. I don’t believe the server supports this kind of technology, and I am worried that it might not be compatible. Can any of you fine folks guide me as to if part number 5XTFH is compatible with my PowerEdge 2900?
Thank you!
