Review: Great deal on a solid performing drive - Works great. Actual drive is a Toshiba. Loaded it up in an r730xd and it has been performing great under a very write intensive workload for the last month. Drive looked new and reported 0% wear when I got it. ~$ sudo sg_logs /dev/sdm --page=0x11 TOSHIBA PX04SVQ160 0805 Solid state media page [0x11] Percentage used endurance indicator: 0 %

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Compatible with PE R750xs ?**
A: Will these work in your server? Straight up as a SATA SSD, yes. Are they Dell certified? Nope. Will OMSA report them as not compatible. Yep. Make sure the trays that come with these are right for your server; otherwise, buy the correct ones. Keep in mind these are SATA, not SAS.

**Q: Me pueden validar si sus discos estan certificados para vmware vsan 6.7  en adelante o pasar el nro de parte para ver en la matriz de compaibilidad?**
A: Si funciona para vsan!!!! Saludos

**Q: Can i use this ssd sas drive to replace a 7200rpm sas drive member in an existing raid5 array? my server is an r610.**
A: On raid arraid, all hard disks must have the same size. If not, sometime doesn't allow you to put it as part of the raid. Or in case you make it working, everything will work as the slowest of everything.

**Q: Ssd means solid state drive? in thi context? or this is a just hdd (hard disk) ?**
A: No, this is an SSD drive with SAS type connection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great deal on a solid performing drive

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ NOT Dell branded, but works.
*by C***G on September 20, 2021*

I really wanted to bring new life to a slower, old server. These WP 480GB SAS 12Gb/s 2.5 SSD's are performing well and meet my expectations for performance. There is no point for the vendor saying these are for Dell PowerEdge Servers though. These ARE NOT Dell branded and OMSA will report the status as Non-Critical with the yellow warning with exclamation point. Does that impact the performance? Nope. But reporting tools will report it. It is more of an annoyance than anything. In order for the drives to NOT show up with a red X or not validated; do this: 1. Upgrade Dell OpenManage Server Administrator to 8.5.0 or above, if already installed go to the next step. 2. Open the stsvc.ini file located in either the C:\Program Files\Dell\SysMgt\sm or the C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\SysMgt\smfolder depending on if you have installed the 32-bit/64-bit version. 3. There should be the following ;nonDellCertified flag for blocking all non-dell certified alerts. NonDellCertifiedFlag=yes Change this to the following and save the file. ;nonDellCertified flag for blocking all non-dell certified alerts. NonDellCertifiedFlag=no If you do not find this line in the file you will need to add it in the following place and save the file. This is normally when you upgrade from an older version to 8.5.0. It is very important it is added after the [general] lines or the setting won’t be honored. ;General Settings [general] ;Amount, in seconds, to sleep between each attempt to poll the PV20x, PV21x, and PV22x enclosure(s). EnclosurePollingInterval=30 ;nonDellCertified flag for blocking all non-dell certified alerts. NonDellCertifiedFlag=no 4. Once you have modified the INI file you need to restart the DSM SA Data Manager service in services.msc and Dell OMSA should now report this if you refresh the page. [ credit to Ashley H @ Tough Tech Site ] [ Edit May 6, 2024 ] There is an easier way now to turn of the NonDellCertifiedFlag. Just run this command from an elevated command prompt: omconfig storage globalinfo action=setnondellcertifiedmode mode=no BOOM! No more yellow triangles!
