The drives you are looking at using are non Dell certified drives and not guaranteed to work in that server. That being said, non Dell certified drives will usually work. Since they are not using Dell firmware, you will probably run into issues with the drives not reporting properly. The controller may make a request of the drive that the drive doesn't understand, can't respond to, or does not respond to in an appropriate amount of time. Be sure that the drives are rated as Enterprise-class.
