I came across this very interesting thread on a related mailing

that I thought would be quite relevant to those of us using Dell
hardware. Apparently Dell has started hardware-blocking hard-drives
that are not "Dell certified".

are they just blocking non-qualified drives, but you could still
install qualified ones bought not from Dell? And: will their
qualified ones work on other controllers?
This sounds like ProStor prevents usage of other disks in RDX drives'
cartridges (AFAIK they are doing this by ATA passwords*), and you are
limited to their cartridges. And in emergency case you can't use the
disks with other controllers due to this.
