PERC H200 Maximum supported drive size?

Print4U,

With the server you are using, and the H200 (with the latest Firmware), it looks like the largest drive we offer for it is a 4TB hdd (pn 7J9RN). So it will allow the use of 4Tb drives.

Let me know if this helps answer your questions.

Chris,

Thank so much for the information. Sorry I missed the post, didn't go down far enough.

I have a PE T110 II with an H200 adapter running MS Server 2012R2.

The H200 runs in IR mode and presently has one has one Seagate ST3600057SS in HDD 0 configured for boot. No raid has  been configured.

The H200 adapter is flashed to the most current levels available from Dell (Dell PERC H200 Adapter, v.07.03.06.00, A09).  The documentation indicates this firmware supports drives larger than 2TB.

During boot, this is what CTRL-C says:

    For Dell SAS Ctlr  V7.11.10.00 (2011.06.02)

         Adapter:                             PERC H200A

         PCI Address:                     01:00

         MPT Firmware Rev:          7.15.08.00-IR

         Package Version:              7.03.06.00

         SAS Address:                    5B8CA3A0:EB46AA00

         NVDATA Version:              07.00.00.19

         Status:                               Enabled

         Boot Order:                        0

         Boot Support:                    [Enabled in BIOS & OS]

To expand storage capacity (as JBOD, no raid), I recently purchased a Seagate ST4000nm0025 4TB drive and placed it in HDD 1. When I boot the system, this drive isn't recognized by the H200, it's not listed during H200 initialization or by the CTRL-C config utility.  Furthermore, if I place my finger on the drive during boot, it doesn't seem to be getting (or recognizing) a power up sequence, no clicks, vibration, head seeks whatsoever. I tried the drive in HDD 0 just to verify and got the same result.

The ST4000nm0025 is stock and  isn't flashed with the update available on the Dell site because I can't even see the drive to do the flash.

Any suggestions on what's wrong here?

Thanks.

Problem solved: the new drive is SAS3 and the T110 is SAS2.  SAS3 introduced a new feature - Power Disable where if there's 3.3v on pin P3 the drive won't power up. The T110 supplies 3.3V via an orange wire to the connector and this pin.  I clipped this wire, the drive spun up and all 4TB are visible to the OS.

Question.  I too have a Dell PERC H200 Adapter RAID Controller in my PowerEdge T110 II.  I will be upgrading the OS on this server very soon and want to replace the hard drives.  I currently have two (2) 1TB (Dell Part #GPP3G) Near Line SAS configured in a RAID1.  I would like to replace them with two (2) SSD's in a RAID1 for the OS, and two (2) new 2TB hard drives also in a RAID1 for Data storage.

Can I use any Enterprise SSD's with the PERC H200 or do the drives have to be Dell hard drives?
