sometimes i have to upgrade HP Servers. For example when they get a new "job" to do.
So lets say i need some more HDDs for an DL360 G7 Server. If the Server has an active HP Care Pack, does it matter if i buy HP Spare Parts? Often they are much cheaper than retail HDDs. (I often saw on internet e.g. $250 retail / $210 spare part - but it is the same Disk Type!) And if i use them in an Server with active Care Pack, i do not have to worry about the warranty. If the HDD crashes the HDD will be replaced no matter if it was an "retail" Product or an "spare part".
So am i right, or are there any disadvantages i didn't think about?
