Which SSD
Hi, I have an CT-SCv3000 <Private data removed from public view DELL-Admin> with 7 DELL ST1200MM0009 (Rev. SE07) which struggle to support the load of my network (the suspect goes to two SQL servers recently added).
I would like to add (maybe) 4 SDD (I have still 9 bay available). BUT I cannot find anywhere the model of SSD disk compatible with this hardware. No Product code, No compatibility list, No suggestions.
I have tentatively tried with a Samsung PM1643a (MZILT1T9HBJR-00007) but the SCv3000 says in the log "disk type is not DMDiskAssociationDiskType_Rear, ... Inelegible for licensing.
Could you please direct me to a list of SSD Disks elegible for licensing?
Thanks in advance

Someone offered me to buy 2.5" carrier with MZILS1T9HEJH0D3 disks mounted (for DELL PowerEdge and DELL EMC PowerEdge) AND the 3.5" carrier for the SCv3000.
Disks have DELL logo (and I suppose DELL firmware), but now I'm not sure if they will be accepted.

PPTNDR,
The limitation you are experiencing with the SCv3000 is likely due to firmware compatibility rather than hardware support. The drives you mentioned may have different firmware versions, such as Compellent, Equalogic, or server level firmware. The system has specific requirements regarding which firmware is supported, so it is recommended that you ensure that the firmware of the drives is compatible with your system.
Let me know if this helps.

With a reseller I wouldn't be able to tell you, as they are all different. Contacting Dell Sales is the recommended way to obtain the specific drive that is compatible with your system. They have the necessary resources to assist you in finding the drive with the appropriate firmware for the SCv3000.

But since CT-SCv3000 is End Of Life Hardware, I look for Used / Refurbished / COMPATIBLE hardware.
I would avoid (if possible) to buy 1.9TB SSDs at the price of five years ago (about 10 times the current price from Samsung)

@PPTNDR
you assume wrong. The EOS for SCv30x0 spare parts is 8/2024. This doesnt mean that all parts a available and for sure buying a SSD from APOS isnt cheap.... but the parts will work.
