Replacement HDD for Dell Poweredge 720xd
Hello, I have a drive in my Poweredge R720xd that has failed and am looking to replace. It is a Dell certified Constellation ES.3 model: ST4000NM0023 (see image for full specs) I'm wondering if it's neccessary to replace using the exact same Firmware version or if I can use another Dell certified drive with a different firmware.

Hello TimHeale,
You can replace it with another compatible Dell certified drive. Firmware is recommended to be the latest for the drive but it does not have to be the same as the others.
You have a Nearline SAS, so another NL-SAS that is same capacity or larger will work fine for you. Enterprise, not consumer, class is recommended.
