i have a failed HDD for UCS 220M3 servers "Seagate Constellation.2 500GB 7200RPM SATA 6Gbps 64MB Cache 2.5-inch "  i have been on the below link for the HDD specs. but now all those listed in the spec sheet are EOS/EOSupport, so i approached in another way to find the replacement part of  those and found  this part number which is still orderable UCS-SD480GBMS4-EV, but now my doubt is how i can confirm the compatibility that it will work with the existing HDD

Items not on the spec sheet will be a trial and error.

Obviously, the c220m3 supported some SSD drives.

It probably boils down to if the raid controller firmware correctly detects the drive.

EDIT: Since that is listed as the direct replacement in the EOL statement at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-c-series-rack-servers/eos-eol-notice-c51-740779.html that drive should work.

Dear kirk

how did u trace the below, can u share with me the link. Also one more query  the below drive is 12Gbps speed it will work with 6gbps existing speed drives in the RAID

UCS-HD1T7K12G is listed as the replacement pid for that one.

I actually used some internal tools/catalogs that are not public facing.

The 12Gb drive will downclock to the controllers speed of 6 Gb, and should work fine alongside the other ones.

How is a SAS drive meant to work in place of SATA?
