Proliant 800 - SCSI HD Question

[nsanto17]

Does anyone know what the maxium HD size i can put in the server.

I currently have 2 9.1gb SCSI drives. I would like to add 4 or 5 18 gb drives but i am not sure if they are compatable.

Does anyone have any clue?

Thanks

Nick

Nick,

I've got several Proliant 800 machines with Quantum 18GB drives. Your drives should work with no problem.

Can you be as kind as to provide me with the Model #'s

The drives are Quantum Atlas 10K II 18.2GB drives.

Can you confirm that this is correct HD

They are advertised as 18.4 but you have 18.2

Nick,

The drives on Ebay are SCA drives. It appears that they come with SCA to 68-pin converters so they should work fine in your Proliant 800.

Do you have a RAID controller in the machine or are you using the on-board SCSI?
