![]() ![]() Go see the ad, you cant tell its not a real Hitachi drive. The other buyers (because this seller had many of them to sell) are only private listings. The ad picture is a generic picture from Hitachi, and nowhere the ad mentioned netapp or a third vendor. The ad did mention "No returns accepted". Regarding returning the drives, I should have known better. ![]() I really dont understand why flashing a Hitachi firnware onto these drives to replace the netapp FW wouldnt' work? After all, are not all of these drives physically identical except their firmware? After all the netapp FW must somehow only be a modified Hitachi FW? Do you think it would be worthwhile to flash the card or the drives? I could also contact LSI to ask for compatibility. The RAID controller is (AFAIK) running original firmware. I did not notice the NETAPP tag in the megacli's output before you mentioned it but now it all makes sense. You are right, by doing a google search, firmware NA01 shows NETAPP drives only. The ebay add is available at Hitachi Ultrastar 15K600 HUS156030VLS600 300 GB Internal 15000 RPM 3 5" | eBay Why are the 2 used drives not supported? AFAIK they're (except in finer details) are the same as the 2 existing drives that are just working fine!

Recently added a pair of used 15k600 (Hitachi's) on a ServeRAID M5016 and I was surprised to see that the drives were identified by the Web BIOS as "unsupported". ![]()
