Can someone here that has replaced a hard drive in a Power Edge 29** series server with one of those "Origin" replacements confirm or deny that the carrier/caddy is causing a constant activity light?
Basically these drives aren't exact replacements (2.5" in a 3.5" caddy/carrier) but are a licensed/legitimate replacement part now.
I replaced 2 drives in 2 different arrays and AFTER the rebuild and verify the activity lights are at a constant until there is actually activity and it will flicker as per the other drives in the array.
The array is fine, reporting optimal and no issues. So i assume its the drive's carrier/caddy causing this?
Just a little worrying sometimes when you glance at a server and a 1 disk in an array is "reporting" constant activity... lol. Annoying that it's "crying wolf" so to speak.
