Netraid 3si Drive Sizes (re-order)

[Martin Dettbarn]

Today I used my last 9gb drive on a failed disk in our storage system 6. I was going to order 2 more for spares but I see the 9gb (D4289A) are discontinued.

Could someone possibly provide me with the new re-order number? (I am assuming will be 18gb) I couldn't dig up the part# on the HP site.

Thanks!

Martin,

18gb and 9gb hdds are compatable in the same array, obviously you don't get the extra capacity of 18 gb with an array configured with 9gb hdds. The SS6 actually only officially supported 1gb, 2gb and 4gb hdds.

The compatable 18gb hdd would be D5039a or D5039-63001. These may be hard to find also. You can also try http://www.pmount.com for old HP parts.

Ciao,
Greg
