Which recommends the Western Digital Black 1Tb SATA III HDD for the Z800. Seriously? Today ONLY HP brand HDDs will work in a z800? The entire field of modern HDDs is out for me? I question this because I also found: HP has worked with the hard disk drive vendors so that all 6Gbps SATA hard drives provided by HP will work on 3Gb/s and 1.5Gb/s ports.\" " Third party 6Gb/sSATA hard disk drives are not supported on HP Workstations featuring only 1.5Gb/s (SATA Gen1) and 3Gb/s (SATA Gen2) SATA ports. But I saw this HP support thread: (I searched first! ) SATA Compatibility - In theory SATA III is backwards compatible, so I should be able to plug a new SATA III HDD or SSHD into a hard drive slot and have it work. A standard, gaming-quality 7200 rpm HDD would probably do, but I'm tempted by the promises of Hybrids.īUT there are issues - here I'm thinking out loud and welcome comment on my thought process.ġ. I'd love to install two more 1Tb SSD's for the high speeds and low power consumption, but too expensive to justify. Now I need more data storage space, and my application needs at least some data retrieval speed. Anyway, the adapter card has 4 SATA ports, only one of which is used by the SSD. Now the SSD is my system disk, and the stock HDD is for data. I installed a 500Gb SSD a while ago, SATA III, and solved the problem by also installing a PCIe SATA III adapter card. Of course, everything sold today is SATA III (6 Gb/s) or SAS 6Gb/s. That is, 3.0 Gb/s only - but in both SATA 3.0 Gb/s (SATA II) and SAS 3.0 Gb/s. "6 channels of Serial ATA (SATA) and 8 channels of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 3.0 Gb/s natively It has three empty hard drive bays, and one empty optical drive bay. The short version is - how can I select and install two SATA 6Gb/s or SAS 6Gb/s1Tb HDD's or SSHD's and circumvent the 3Gb/s drive ports to get the full benefit of new 6Gb/s drives?
