Eu testei WD Reds (WDC WD10JFCX-68N) em alguns servidores DL360 G6 sem problemas inesperados. Eles funcionam bem, mas, como esperado, são um pouco mais lentos que os drives SATA de 7200 RPM.
Aqui estão alguns exemplos de saída de ssacli ctrl all show config detail
com alguns detalhes obscurecidos para mostrar como eles se comparam aos drives SATA da marca HP.
Detalhes da unidade lógica do drive HP 1TB SATA:
Logical Drive: 1

A única diferença é "Status do SO: LOCKED" e as informações do ponto de montagem.
Os detalhes da unidade física também são semelhantes - aqui está o detalhe de uma unidade HP:
physicaldrive 1I:1:2
Port: 1I
Box: 1
Bay: 2

E aqui estão os detalhes da unidade física vermelha da WD:
physicaldrive 1I:1:4
Port: 1I
Box: 1
Bay: 4
Status: OK
Drive Type: Data Drive
Interface Type: SATA
Size: 1 TB
Drive exposed to OS: False
Logical/Physical Block Size: 512/4096

WWID: 3FBF001EAFB00003
Model: ATA WDC WD10JFCX-68N
SATA NCQ Capable: True
SATA NCQ Enabled: True
Current Temperature (C): 22
Maximum Temperature (C): 33
PHY Count: 1
PHY Transfer Rate: 3.0Gbps
Sanitize Erase Supported: False
Shingled Magnetic Recording Support: None
Mesmo com a alteração do tamanho do bloco físico, ele funciona bem para armazenamento em massa. Como esperado para a menor velocidade de rotação, os WD Reds operam mais lentamente. No entanto ... eles operam!
