The interface must be same, speed or size can be different. Size that you can use larger size, not smaller.

Hi Guys, <br />
<br />
This is abit of an urgent call for help, I've got a IBM X226 (86485BM) Tower Server at a client site,<br />
and one of the disks which belongs to a 3disk raid 5 has become deflunct, I've called IBM, and the<br />
warrenty on the machine is just finished, and a new replacement 73gb 10k Ultra320 hdd from ibm is around<br />
$1200.00 and will take 7-10 working days....I need it like yesterday as the machine is in production.<br />
<br />
My question to you guys is can i replace that hdd with a generic? eg seagate? of the same size and speed?<br />
Will the interfaces on the back be the same? And will the raid5 accept the new drive?<br />
<br />
Any suggestions guys, any help will be greatly appreciated.<br />
Im not too familiar with scsi systems, as most sites i work at run full SATA rather than SCSI.<br />
<br />
Kind Regards<br />
<br />

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.

Storage Hardware

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
