   I had HP DL360's and 380's and although they're nice... they need HP drives.   
      
   Non-HP drives appear to be missing a temperature sensor which causes the    
   backplane controller to run the fans at full blast...  jet-engine full blast.   
      
   Ended up getting rid of them and going with two Dell R510's for storage, 24   
   hard drives total, and a R610 for Vmware EXSI....  the hard drives are a mix   
   of different brands and the controller doesn't complain at all.
