Thanks Ben, good info.
special = some configuration that means non-Dell sourced drives will not work
in said server.

Poweredge 840 is a low end server right? And the SAS 5/IR has no
restrictions on using non-Dell SATA II disks (as I've had that cr*ppy
card before)

some media drives ( at least this used to be true ) had a different TCal
logic (thermal recalibration) to keep the data stream as a priority.

The SAS and SATA connectors were designed to be compatible from the
beginning.
You won't need any different cabling with the new drives.

Correct on the low-end, it's an SBS box for an office of 17 folks.
Any idea on what kind of cable I need? regular
The SAS 5/IR should ship with the necessary cables...

I would get in touch with someone in Dell's sales upgrades dept. Get the
exact model number they would be sending you and see if you can source it
elsewhere. PS I love newegg.

If the Dell SATA drives are intended to work with the Dell RAID cards, then
they likely have DELL oem’d firmware compared to consumer shelf drives.

Normal SATA II drives work fine with the SAS 5/IR

I would not EVER use a normal consumer SATA drive in any sort of RAID array.
The only SATA drives I would use are the ones intended for server
storage - the Western Digital RE series or the Seagate Barracuda ES series.
The Western Digital WD5002ABYS is an RE drive and should be fine.

Define special.
The HDA (hard disk assembly) and PCB (printed circuit board) are
almost certainly the same as you would get if you bought a similar
spec'ed drive
Thanks Ben, good info.

Oh, and there's one that's not on this list:
Enterprise-grade SATA drives report an SAS WWN. Plain consumer drives do
not.
It might sound like a minor thing, but any SAS storage array that uses
an SAS expander chip will refuse to operate with plain consumer drives
connected.
