I found my answer: I was oddly enough looking under the Hardware tab where I can see the model number of the hard drives. Although I thought that I looked under the Storage tab before, if you open Disks>(Folder Name), you should see folders containing the various drives in your system. If I open the Write-Intensive SSD folder and highlight a drive, the revision number can be found there.
1. How can I tell if a drive is Compellent or EqualLogic?
2. How can I tell if a drive is Compellent Enterprise Value or Enterprise Plus?
I have Dell servers and I usually just test the hard drives using the hardware diagnostics that's all I do and use a different server where I use to wipe and resale the drives if they test well and wipe.
Any information provided will highly be appreciated!
I am not specifically using a Dell Compellent server, however, I am using a Dell R series regular server and I am using the software for checking the health and running the test for the hard drives. I am also using another server with 3rd-party software to wipe the hard drive using NIST.
