will HP BD30058232 300GB FC Drives work on an FAS270c?

Hi, should this drive work on our FAS270c?

HP 300GB, 10K RPM, FC 40 pin, 2Gbit drives. The HP model number is BD30058232. The HP part number is 359461-007. The factory part number is 9X1004-144.

They also have the part number ST3300007FC, which looks like Seagate.

Attached is a picture.

thanks

The short answer is - no, a non-NetApp drive won't work in a NetApp array.

The model could be the same, yet disks from NetApp have custom firmware on them & the array will reject any 'generic' disk.
