Question for you Dell/HP server experts.
I'm thinking of taking two Dell drives (Maxtor Atlas II 15k 73GB U320), taking their drive carriage off, and putting them into an HP server. I realize that the firmware may be different, but besides that, does anyone know if HP drives have anything "special" about them? I've heard from someone, who's word I don't necessarily trust, that HP drives are "marked" with a pre-failure technology. Is this true? This may sound like a dumb question, but just want to make sure that it's able to monitor the drive status correctly.
