HP ProLiant ML310e G8 v2 ssd

Question

I have a HP ProLiant ML310e G8 v2 with Intel® Xeon® E3-1220v3 3.10GHz processor and I'd like to upgrade the storage to a SSD one.

Currently I have two Non-SSD hard drives that I've configured RAID 1 and I'd like to create a separate RAID 1 but with SSDs.

What kind of SSDs should I take:

1. 2 x Solid State Drive (SSD) Intel 540s Series, 1.0TB, M.2 80mm, SATA III
2. 2 x Solid State Drive (SSD) Intel 540s Series, 1.0TB, 2.5'', SATA III
3. 2 x Solid State Drive (SSD) Samsung MZ-7KE1T0BW, 2.5", 1TB, SATA III

I'm not sure if the HP ProLiant ML310e G8 v2 is compatible with Solid State Drive (SSD) Intel 540s Series, 1.0TB, M.2 80mm, SATA III

Seen also this question which faces some issues with SSD drive.

Answer 1

You should check the Raid Controller Model, in the manual of the Vendor will mention the type of disks it supports and if it can handle another RAID.
