Non Lenovo coded SSD for Lenovo ThinkSystem

Related to Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V3:

I have a bunch of generic Samsung PM893 SATA SSD I would like to use in the mentioned host. Are there any potential compatibility issues to be able to to utilize the disks (without errors)? It's not a production system, but I would still like to avoid any quirks related to the disk setup.

Should be fine, the only devices I know of that require vendor specific storage are SANs.

And certain storage cabinets, and Z series hardware.

Is there any hardware rule of thumb for which Z isn’t an exception?

Nope. I always thought it was the epitome of exceptions until I had a run in with HP Nonstop Himalaya…..
