The hd i've used is exactly the same model as the one already in my server, it seems to have a EMC firmware though and that may be the root of the issue...
Is there any way to "release" that block or something like that? The manual only states that in case a drive is listed as blocked i should update the firmware on the server...
In a worst case scenario, if I replace my hard drives with retail SATA drives it should work right?
The SAME drive, with SAME hardware costs 3 to 5 times or more até Dell just because firmware flash with no performance, reliablility addition, this is rediculous.
Dell works well with any INTEL/SAMSUNG SSD or SEAGETE/WD/HGST/TOSHIBA HDD, no need to flash or update nothing.
Do not pay more to Dell! Or buy a Supermicro that is unlocked for you choose and be free.

Robert,
By dell certified you mean BOUGHT AT DELL or can it be retail drives that are in the compatibility list of H700 ?
If it is the retail drives (as I hope.. ), where can I get a compatibility list?
