KG1Ch is the supported 3.5 carrier for the server. The drive, while not showing as a procided disk, does have specs matching the supported drives. So there is a good chance that drive should work.
Unfortunately there will not be cross compatibility between the drive carriers. The 13th generation HDD caddies have changed their layout, from the 12th generation, with regards to the 3.5 inch drives. So the 2 generation servers would have to have the carriers swapped to get the drive to fit. I would also need the part numbers of the 2 different sets of drives to let you know if the specific drives are compatible either. The different controllers should support migrating the VD between the H310 to the H730, but it would be the compatibility of the remaining components that would be questionable.
The specific drives that I'd like to move to the new server are WD4000FYYZ (non dell-certified). Do you think they will be compatible? And also, will the compatible carriers be P/N:KG1CH so simply I should buy some new compatible carriers in order to achieve the migration?
What other kind of compatibility issues I could have?
