Hitachi P/N:0F12115

[bluewammer]

I have just purchased an Ultra 2 and am looking for a pair of 2Tb drives to go in it. I have found the Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 at a good price but I am confused by the Note on the Compatibility List which says "P/N:0F12115". Does this mean that some Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 drives have a different part number to this, and if so how do I tell whether the ones I am buying online have the right part number?

Hitachi pn 0F12115 has a model number of HDS723020BLA642. 2TB HDD with 64MB cache. However, there are other generic Hitachi pn's with the same model number, such as
Hitachi pn's 0F13411, 0F13922, and 0F15961. All should be interchangeable.

It doesn't end there. Hitachi uses the same model number for specific Hitachi OEM pn's, such as Dell, Apple, Lenovo, etc...

Good Luck.

Let me know the price and website.
