Hi there i have a dell t320 poweredge server with a perc h710 raid card since 2016
Currently running in a raid 5 configuration with dell oem 4tb drives x 4
And windows server essentials 2012
And need to replace my drives
Will any of this drives be compatible or someone has tested a 8tb drive in a h710 raid card
According to dell tech theyre not guaranteed to work
Any help is appreciated
thanks
below are the drives i have found that would like youre help with
Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5'' HDD 8TB 7200 RPM 4Kn SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache ST8000NM0045
Or
SEAGATE ST8000NM001A 8TB 7200 RPM 256MB SAS 3.5
Or
Seagate ST10000NM0206 Enterprise 10TB SAS 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
 
Two options: 1) update the controller to the latest firmware if it isnt already, make sure you're using 512e sector drives and not 4kn, and everything will work fine. Seagate makes every enterprise drive available in either format, so just switch to the 512e model.

2) purchase a newer raid card to replace the h710.

I run 8 and 16 TB drives on a card with an older LSI controller than yours without issue.
