Dell OEM PowerEdge 2950 1950 Server XK111 146GB 15K SAS Hard Drive MBA3147RC

Needed to replace a failed drive in an older T610. Swapped out the caddy and put it in and rebuilt the RAID 1 array. System up and going. Arrived on time and well packed.

I received two HDDs as a replacement for Raid-0 configuration on a Dell PE 1950. It has a Perc6/i controller. The drives came with Caddy, though I had to use the Caddy in the old drives to fit in the server. The drives came up fine and are working as expected. However, smartctl (version 5.43 on centos 6.9) reports that both drives have nearly 42,553 hours on it. If true, these are old refurbished drives rather than new. If they are refurbished, the seller should include that in the product description. Can this seller provide feedback?

PowerEdge 2950 III lost a drive. I bought two of these, one to replace the failure and another for a spare. The drive is not the same brand that i have in the other 5 bays but the RAID rebuilt and initialized so it doesn't seem to matter. This is a XenServer 6.5 virtual host machine handling up to three virtual servers. The server is a workhorse. The drive should work fine.

Exact match for my server's other drives, except that this one was a Fujitsu instead of Seagate. Both are Dell certified, so it's all the same to me. Mine came without the drive caddy that is in the product picture and description. That knocks off a star for me, since I had to order it separately. Otherwise perfect.

Good price, needed for an older server. So glad we were able to find this!

I noticed a predictive failure warning on my PE2950 so I turned to Dell to replace the failing drive. They didn't have it in stock AND it was listed for about $199.This item is the exact part Dell would send you, complete with the drive housing, for a great price. Brand new.

Worked great in my 2950. Rebuilt the Raid5 just as it should have.

I needed a replacement hard drive for an out of warranty server and was quite happy to receive this item, plugged it into the server and it has been working as expected for several weeks.
