Thank you!
Mine is suspiciously looking like yours ๐ but Dell, and without the sticker...
Is it just a Dell rebranded Seagate? I mean Dell doesn't make drives right? And the serial takes me right to segate drives who are compatible s-ata.
Guess I'll gamble a couple of โฌ to see ๐
Dell drives are rebranded Seagates, however the firmware is slightly modified so the bios recognizes it as a Dell branded drive. Openmanage will throw an error if you use a different drive (though aside from that everything will work fine)
Thanks! Crossing my fingers ๐
No worries, however I cannot see the SATA marking on yours, just the SAS, or perhaps I am blind, changed contact model today..but please double check before ordering.
And yes, Dell does not manufacture hard drives, so it's almost 100% a OEM rebranding.
if however, it is this drive it should support SATA
