Nope, just ordered some of off eBay myself.  And the drive tray's from
another auction since I didn't have any.  Make sure you research the
part # so you don't end up with the non SCA's.

Subject: Hard Drives for Dell Servers


I have been tasked with finding the maximum capacity of drives that we
can put in some PowerEdge 6800's that we are going to be re-using.
Right now I have 146GB U320 drives in them.  I'm imagining that I should
be able to get 300GB U320's from Dell, but I'm looking to be able to
save some money on this.

Since the carrier for the Dell drives is really just a bezel as the
drives have an 80 pin SCA connection, should I be able to get away with
using any 80 pin SCA U320 drive?  Or is their some proprietary firmware
in the Dell drives that would prevent me from doing that?

Thanks in advance!
