Hi,

8/16/x.y is SE (50 pin HD).

In the 5 8/4.z hot swap slots, there are two kinds of disk.
1st: 2 GB and some 4 GB HVD drives, like
SEAGATE ST32171W or SEAGATE ST34371W
2nd: some 4 GB and 9 GB drives, like
SEAGATE ST34572WC, SEAGATE ST34573WC, SEAGATE ST39175LC. These drives are UW/U2W drives, the bay contains an adapter on the connection from HDD to Bay. You can recognize it on three chips there.

You could use (HP unsupported) 9/18/32 GB U2W drives (maybe 72 GB, but be aware if the drives will go too hot - they will die).
I have checked max. 32 GB U160 Seagate, but the drive would be too hot after some minutes because the air flow is very bad in the D330 Server (or Jamaica, too).

Open the bays and have a look at the SCSI drives and the adaptor.

18 GB U2W/Ultra160 with 7200 rpm should live long enough.

Of course you can use SE/UW/U2W/U160/U320 (LVD/SE) drives in the bay kind 2 if it makes any sense for you.

Have fun.
