Hello,

I am planning to expand the storage capacity of a Dell PowerVault ME5 series array by purchasing additional disks.

Currently, the array utilizes 8 disk slots with Dell-branded drives (PN: MZILG1T9HCJRAD3).

My question is: if I add additional drives with the same part number (PN), but not Dell-branded — for example, manufactured by Samsung — will this affect or void the warranty in any way?
