SSD Options for R710 with Perc H700

We have an R710 server with Perc H700 Raid controller and 3-1/2" Near-line SAS 6Gps hard drives.  We are looking to upgrade the aging hard drives with SSDs, and would like info on which SSDs are compatible with this system.  Service Tag for this system is: HMHVPQ1.

Hello.

Here are some compatible SSDs. P/N DPF1J for 2.5" 800 GB SAS SSD and P/N R2PJ7 for 2.5" 400 GB  SAS SSD. You may need to use 3.5" HD carrier already shipped to match the backplane.

What about SATA SSD, is there any?

Like Kingston suggests DC400 to be compatible with PowerEdge R710, sizes: 480GB, 960GB, 1600GB?

The server does support 2.5" SSD SATA hard drives as well such as P/N 9T0ND 800GB SSD, SATA, 2.5" and P/N 6XJ05 for 400GB SSD, SATA, 2.5". You may have to look up compatibility information for other SATA SSD drives.

Thank you.

Hello,

I have a new setup with Kingstone DC400 960GB SEDC400S37 drives installed on a R710 with H700 card.

All drives are showing "non-critical" state.

OMSA and H700 versions are at the latest.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Thank you

Get certified drives. Non-certified drives may not properly communicate their status, so the controller cannot vouch that they are healthy.

The state currently showing is the yellow exclamation and "non-critical": will I be alerted should one of the drives fail? or is this the only state with a non-compatible drive?

edit: pulling a drive out does show a notification on the hardware status monitoring.

so, when using a non-compatible driver, what are the effects?

Thx
