We have plans to decommission a Dell SCv2080 storage with 8T SAS drives. I am thinking of putting a few of those drives on my own for-fun server, but I heard these Compellent drives may have different firmware. Can I use them directly on Dell R730/740 servers or do I need to reformat from (528b to 512b?), or do I have to flash some sort of normal firmware onto it?
