I have recently been looking to do an upgrade on my server recently by upgrading to using SSDs (2.5 inch). I have done a lot of late night googling and have found that many drives have an issue with the RAID card in the machine where the fans will ramp up and even shutdown the system. With more looking, the recommendations are to just buy the HP drives, as they will have all of the monitoring features and are known to work. I have found a drive (HP 690816-001 MO0400FCTRP) that I think will work, but when I look it up on the compatibility list, I cannot find the drive. Is this drive compatible with my server?

1That server is very old. Are you sure you need SSDs on that platform, versus investing into something Gen8 or newer? – ewwhite Mar 07 '21 at 14:13

Yes, 6gbps and the speed of the server itself is enough for me. I don't have the money for anything newer. – Toffee Mar 08 '21 at 08:35

Since about a year has passed, I thought I should probably update this.
Get Kingston A400 SSDs. They work great and will not spin up the fans.

Confirm kingston A400 works great on ML350p gen8 with p420i raid controller. – ken Nov 15 '22 at 06:39
