Hi Dell Community,

Have a question that requires help with some insight. Recently my PowerVault MD1200 is having disk issues and I so happen to have a spare disk with similar specification to the one that is having disk issues. The Product ID of the disk that has an error is ST8000NM0185. Was wondering if I can just swap out the faulty disk and pluck in the same specification disk that I have on hand.

Is there any proprietary software that is installed in Dell PowerVault's disk that does not allow any similar specification disk to be used by MD1200.
