H710P, non-Dell SSDs, and RAID Drive Failure Reporting
As long as a non-Dell drive is recognized by the H710P controller, and I'm able to set it up in a RAID, will RAID errors with regard to the non-Dell drives be reported?
I setup a RAID10 (16 x 256GB crucial m4 SSDs) in a R720, and it appears in the OS just fine, but since they aren't OEM drives all the amber lights are always blinking. I can live with that, but what I can't live with is a non-Dell drive failure within the RAID that isn't reported by the H710P controller, since it isn't Dell branded.
Thanks for any insight!
" will RAID errors with regard to the non-Dell drives be reported?"
Have many servers with non certified drives, so far I have never had an issue with the servers reporting raid issues. As mention many times before, since they are non certified drives you are taking a risk as to compatibility between the drives and controller; it is rather low or I would not be using non cert drives. You did not mention having a hot spare, you should really have one if this is a production server.
