PowerEdge 2600 - Supported Hard Drive Size

[IS300]

We were looking at rebuilding one of our Dell PowerEdge 2600 servers.

At the same time, we want to increase the storage on it. Does anybody know what the maxium hard drive size that it can take?

We'd like to go with 300GB drives if at all possible.

Thanks.

According to the above, the PE2600 can support a maximum of 8x146GB drives. That's not to say that 300GB drives will not work (in fact, they should work perfectly fine) only that Dell does not support such a configuration.

You also need to remember that regardless of system type a dell perc 4 controlloer can only manage logical drives less that 2.1 TB in size each.
