What size drives were available when the datasheet was published? They aren't going to list it as compatible with 4TB drives if they weren't available.
Very true did not think of that

Quick question: Noticed in the Gen8 specs is says the maximum internal storage is 12GB (4 x 3TB). Is this true?
I was looking at upgrading to the Gen8 sometime this year and throw in 4 x 6TB (24TB).
That seems very unlikely. I have 16 GB (4 x 4 GB) in my N40L and my N54L.
Probably only says that because that was the max drive size at the time, I have 3x4tb, 1x6tb, 1x500Gb and 2x256Gb in mine...
Ignore just realized its 7 drives!
Nice! How do you have 7 drives in it?
I have 6 in mine, and have no idea how you'd physically fit and also wire up an extra drive, but if it's possible I'm interested.
lol... I assume you mean 4TB... now I can say with pretty much certainty that 4GB hard drives won't be supported
Haha! Yes, whoops! I must've had GB on the brain after searching for DDR4.
These have had a serious price hike! Anyone got any ideas why? They've been going down and down and are around double the price they were when they came out..
I have 4 in the normal 3.5" bays connected to a P222 then an SDM that can take 4 2.5" drives connected to the onboard b120..
They look to be normal price to me... about £360
The price running with the cashback offer was a reduced price to clear stock... looks like HP have temporarily ended the promotional period, so the price has gone back up to normal.
eh?
SDM?
P222?
pics!
They've been sub £200 over a year, I bought one in March last year at 179.99 plus £35 cashback and they went down and down to be £110 after cashback. Seems to be a high jump after being down so low for so long. If I had know it was going to jump I'd have bought a second that's for sure!
It went up to this price for one month last year, while the cashback offer was on a break... I remember as it was at the time when I was thinking about a 3rd to add to my collection.
The price at the minute is the "normal" price... irrespective of how long the discount has been available. I know that might sound silly... but it's true.
This happens once in a while... by Feb or March, they'll be discounted again and the cashback will re-appear.
I think it is just that: a myth (a mistake on the HP spares site).Like others, I'm having trouble tracking down supply of the mythical high wattage heatsink. Somewhere I have the direct email of one of HPE UK's tech people who I helped out a while back with their Gen8 (that was amusing) so will try him tomorrow.
