That way, at the very minimum, I can blame them when it breaks. If you need a good source, drop me a line. <BR /><BR /><BR /><BR />Chris Mon, 10 Mar 2003 21:58:49 GMT Chris Vail 2003-03-10T21:58:49Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk/replacing-hard-disks/m-p/2923493#M3557 I have several Proliant 3000, all of which have fallen off warranty. They all are performing well and running Windows 2000. <BR /><BR />The Hot Plug drives that are used by these servers are 1.0" 10K and are either 4.3GB or 9.1GB. The Raid controllers are SmartArray 3200s. <BR /><BR />I'd like to replace the drives by putting in other SCA drives while using the existing drive trays (Biege colored ones, not the newer black ones). As this would be significantly cheaper than replacing the drives, trays, and cages in all the servers. <BR /><BR />Can this be done? Is there anything I should watch for when doing this type of upgrade? <BR /><BR />Thanks in advance Mon, 10 Mar 2003 18:16:05 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk/replacing-hard-disks/m-p/2923493#M3557 Shawn_75 2003-03-10T18:16:05Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/disk/replacing-hard-disks/m-p/2923494#M3558 Thats the kind of question I normally dump on the guy who wants to sell me the drives.
