Verify Hard Drive Firmware

What is the recommended way to verify the firmware version of our hard drives on a Compellent SC8000?

    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!

    Hello thanks for choosing Dell. 

    What version are you using for Sc8000 os ( SCOS)?

    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.
