I have customized Lenovo server builds in the past with after market drives/storage, and I was wondering if anyone has insigt or experience with what the implications might be. Will it affect the warranty of the server as a whole, or if a drive fails and the server is under warranty will an on site warranty tech refuse to work on it? Stuff like that? Or are there other considerations? I am having a hard time finding anything regarding this, and considering how expensive Lenovo branded storage solutions are, the financial incentive to go aftermarket/3rd party is hard to ignore.

    You should ask your VAR this.

    Some vendors won’t care, others do.

    I work in networking so I have to deal with Cisco being assholes about SFP modules. When the problem is unrelated.
