HP SAS drives on non-HP controller

[onygren]

I found a really nice deal on a couple of HP SAS drives and was wondering if anyone have tried this model or perhaps a similar model on a non-HP controller, more specifically a Dell PERC 5/i?

The model number for these drives are: EH0300FBQDD. There are two different part numbers for these drives too; 627117-B21 and 627114-002.

Thanks in advance!

With the proper cable those will work fine on any SAS controller. The 2 models are both 15K 300GB SAS 2.5" drives. One is a retail part one is a service part.

Yeah I hope they will work, but since I've heard some stories where the controller didn't accept some drives I want to be really sure before I buy them. You wouldn't happen to know who the manufacturer of these drives are?

I've got a couple of Fujitsu 15K drives hooked up to the PERC 5/i at the moment so it seems that the card accepts random drives and not just those from the same manufacturer.
