Yes, they normally work just fine as they are backward compatible.

Subject: [THIN] OT: Compaq Servers


Okay Compaq Gurus - I've got two brand spankin new HP
Proliant ML330 G3 servers - on both servers, the hard
drives (10K U320) work just fine on the included U320
scsi controller. But when I connect them to the
SmartArray 532 controller, it can't see them. Sure,
it'll spin the drives up, but when you try to create a
logical drive, it reports "no physical drives found."

After 90 minutes on the phone with Compaq, they
decided that either the MBs or the SmartArry cards are
bad. I find that hard to believe (well, not really,
I'm not a big fan of Compaq equipment) and I say that
it's because the SmartArray only does U160, and hence,
isn't communicating with the U320 drives correctly.
Compaq says it should work. Needless to say, I'll let
the Compaq SE come work on it and waste his time.

So my question - has anyone here used U320 drives on
U160 controllers, especially Compaq, successfully?
