I have an ML110 G6 with a SmartArray P212 and two Seagate (non-HP) SAS disks in Raid 1.

When I ran HP Insight Diagnostics I got some errors related to S.M.A.R.T. error testing and I would like to confirm that this is due to the controller not being able to query the drives as they are non-HP.

I believe that the drives are not failing, but I want to be sure.

Please have a look at these screenshots I took from the Insight Diagnostics report:

They're probably just fine but you won't ever really know because HP controllers are configured to work with HP-specific firmware, by not using HP disks you lose out on this function.

Right I understand, but as they passed all the other Insight Diagnostic tests I assume that if they weren't fine I would have gotten more errors. No? – yonatan Jun 12 '11 at 13:40
