Why are Hp servers naughty about disks?

Hello.somehow I bought an old man hp dl 380 g6 and in addition to a little work, I decided to make a file storage out of it (thankfully 8 disks are installed) I chose Western Digital blue disks, more specifically wd10spzx put 1 disk into the server, it both worked and works with an increase in memory I bought 6 of them, not all of them came across the same model, but there were 2 wd10spcx disks after installing the last 2 disks, it started to take off, which prevented coexistence with it, I got them and everything became normal, I used the search and honestly did not expect such a setup from HP, but on one resource I found a disk compatibility table, it was written that wd10spzx work fine and wd10spcx beat off overheating (which turned out to be true) I threw them off and for 3 months I worked fine without throw-offs from the disks, but at 1 perfect moment after the power outage they started for some reason - thenoverclock cooling, and all 6 pieces puzzled me because they worked for 3 months without any complaints
maybe someone faced similar problems? Can you share your experience on how to solve this problem?
I apologize for the spelling and punctuation =)

after installing the last 2 discs it started to take off

well, screw it normally to the rack or whatever you have there
did not expect such a setup from HP

lolkek, you can immediately see the person has never used xp, read the opinions of experts and bought shit. congratulations on joining the ranks of those who have eaten shit
on the fact of options 2:
1) buy compatible drives
2) change the controller to a normal LSI / Adaptec without xps firmware (although I would change the entire server to dell / supermicro / ibm)

WD Blue are cheap consumer grade drives. Like other similar drives, they are not designed to be installed in a system unit in an amount of more than 2 pieces (although the manufacturer does not explicitly state this anywhere). The more drives installed, the stronger the vibration of the entire system unit. The discs themselves are not very happy with this vibration. But enterprise-class drives are made in such a way as to continue normal operation at a higher vibration level, it is normal to put 8 of them in a server (sometimes more), but the price of such drives is much higher. Well, in consumer disks in such conditions, the performance will drop to the baseboard (they will go astray and reread sectors several times); maybe they will die ahead of time - I can’t promise here, how lucky.
If you want to put 8 disks in one server - buy WD Gold disks or analogues from other manufacturers.

There are a number of disks that incorrectly transmit temperature readings to server raid controllers.
Not only HP servers have this problem, but also Dell (for example, with the H700 controller). You
can solve this problem either by replacing some LSI controllers or by selecting compatible drives. Disks don't have to be server drives, there are quite a few custom models that are compatible with servers.
Here is a list of compatible and incompatible drives:
