Disk to use for L1000

Ramil Castillo — Tue, 06 Sep 2005 05:22:18 GMT

All the recommended internal disks (18GB, 36GB, 73GB) for L1000 are no longer supplied but I found the internal 15krpm ultra320 disks(36GB, 73GB)rp54x0 are available. Will it fit in and work in L1000 disk slots?

Hi,

Ultra 320 is backward compatible with earlier SCSI standards (except for HVD) so, technicaly it will work. I belive you must use some kind of mounting kit for the L1000.

I have used 15K U320 drives in A-class servers without any problem.

Hi Ramil,

referring to the link below, you even can put a *supported* 146GB disk (A7080A) in your L-Class.

The rp54x0 drive A6846A 36GB hot-plug Ultra160 Wide Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI hard drive 15,000 RPM, low profile, 80-pin SCA connector is no longer available. They say the suggested replacement is: A6846-64001. US$1,638.00, Wow. A7080-69001 HDD INT 146G 10K 80U4 $5,152.00. Again, WOW.
