Anyone having success with third-party SATA or SAS drives with Proliant G8's? I know the G7's were flaky and had BIOS issues.
We're looking for real-world success stories with particular brands and models of enterprise-class SSDs.
(We'd hoped to install some Intel 910 cards, but they're so scarce these days it's impossible to locate them before our implementation deadline.)
G7's were not flaky. Some SSD's did not work, but many did.
What are you trying to achieve? If its a cost issue, you could try to source the OEM SSD's. Last I checked, HP was using Intel for low-end SATA and Sandisk/Pliant for enterprise SAS. Of course, you'll need HP Gen8 drive carriers... I do NOT know where to find those...
But take a look at my notes at: HP D2700 enclosure and SSDs. Will any SSD work?
That covers some of my experiences...
