Maximum size of SCSI drives for LH4

Looking to upgrade my lh4's drives (currently 3x9gb). Does anyone know what the maximum capacity that this server's motherboard/bios will support

Re: Maximum size of SCSI drives for LH4

HP supported up to 36gb hdd's in the server, but I'm sure that you'll be able to get much higher capacity hdd's to work in there. The servers bios does not restrict the size of the scsi hdd's, that is a function of the scsi controller, and there is no limit that I am aware of.
Currently, HP sells 36gb hdd's that were supported in that server under p/n D9419A.
HP also sells 73gb hdd's, p/n P3577A. These were never officially supported, however.
There's always room for J-E-L-L-O

Re: Maximum size of SCSI drives for LH4

I would also recommend the HP 36 GB drives are the best maximum size.
If you do add or upgrade to 36GB drives, would also suggest having the redundant power supply for power load balancing. The LH4 comes with 3 power supplies (required to run, requires 2 power cords). A 4th can be added.
