Can you stick any hard drives you want in there, or do they have to be HP drives?

HPE will probably tell you that you need to use their drives. We have been putting in non-HPE hard drives so far without issue. More on that in the full test.
At least up until Gen8 you could use any drive; the bays came in standard dimensions and took my Western Digital drives without a problem. I don't see why that should have changed in the meantime.
Wasn't there something about fans blowing at 100% with non-HPE drives due to their firmware?
