MD1000 compatible replacement drives
Hi all
I have a Dell PowerVault MD1000 with Seagate Barracuda ES.2 SCSI SAS drives.
The model number of the drives is ST3500620SS which is the 500GB 7200rpm model.
One of the drives have failed and I need a suitable replacement.
I've already contacted Seagate support and haven't had a response.
Tried contacting Dell Support but the service tag of the MD1000 isn't recognised so I can't get anywhere with that.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a suitable replacement?
I've checked a couple of the other 500GB 7200rpm drives from the 2010 MD1000 compatibility matrix but they're all discontinued.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bill

The best way to find the supported hard drives for the MD1000 is the following link.
support.dell.com/.../md1000_SupportMatrix.pdf
If you go to page 6 it will list all of the hard drives that have been tested and are supported along with the model number and minimum firmware level. If you have any other questions please feel free to let me know.
