With a SCv2020 it depends on which system you have as to if you can connect your PE2950 to it. If your SCv2020 is iSCSI or fibre then you might be able to use your PE2950. If you have a SAS SCv2020 then you will not be able to use your PE2950 as Joerg stated.
As far as hdd’s for any Compellent system must be a Dell certified drive as well as have the Compellent firmware loaded on the drive. Any drive that doesn’t meet this will show in the system as not compatible & will be powered down & then marked as bad.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

You havent told us what kind of frontend connectivity your SCv have.
A SCv SAS is only supportet on 13/14.Gen Poweredge Server which means T/R x30 or x40.
If youre speaking about iSCSI or FC it have nothing todo with the Server it self. You have to verify the HBA and the OS which runs on the server. Just look into https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_solutions_int/esuprt_solutions_int_solutions_resources/general-solution-resources_white-papers2_en-us.pdf
Note: Using a SSD Only Storage with a >10 old Server is a joke right?
