R720/R730 SSD Drives for VMware VSAN
Hi All - I am hoping someone can assist with what should be an easy question but is turning into way more difficult than it should be.
I wish to replace my existing 200Gb SSD drives in my existing VMware vSAN environment.
8 drives in total.
I wish to replace them with 800GB SSD SATA drives. The most economical drives that are fully supported is best as my budget is not big.
The problem is nobody seems capable of telling me what drives are compatible with both my servers and are also on the vSAN HCL (which is crucial)
The VMware HCL does not mention the Dell part numbers so matching them is proving very difficult. My supplier is sending me pricing for drives that differ hugely but still hasn't confirmed support on both platforms.
Please can you help me identify which Dell 800 GB SSD SATA drive(s) I can use in both my R720 and R730 servers that are also on the VMware vSAN Hardware Compatibility list?
Thanks.

Hi,
The part number J19XM is on both our compatibility list and the VSAN one, for both the R720 and R730.
