Can 18GB, 36GB internal K class and N class disks be used in an external array? Like an existing Jamaica we have. We are doing some server replacements and need to know how much flexibilty we possess.
Thanks.

Re: K Class and N Class Internal Disks
Yes, but you'll need to come with Jamaica carrier enclosures for them. The internals have only snall connector type add-ons. The Jamaica drives have that black "box" the drive sits in.
HTH,
Jeff

Re: K Class and N Class Internal Disks
the N-Class drives are hot-plug LVD drives, mounted on a small frame.
You'll need for every external chassis the appropriate mounting kit / carrier.
You can't directly use the internal disks in an external chassis.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: K Class and N Class Internal Disks
I recommend first pulling the hard drives and checking the connectivity each drive physically posseses. Once you've figured this out you can buy the Jamaica enclosures accordingly.
The oldest revision A3647A 4GB FWD disk for The Jamaica in a hotswap enclosure used a 68Pin FWD disk drive, like the internal disks in K Class servers.
The newer Revison A3647A HotSwap enclosure drives used 80 Pin SCA disk drives, and therefore will convert LVD disk drives to FWD to be plugged into your Jamaica and run on the same SCSI chain as the K class disks.
All in all your best be will probably be to buy something along the lines of an SC-10 Disk Enclosure and back all of the servers up to their own disks, then make duplicates of the disks simply because the older drives have got to be running up there in age and I wouldn't bet their lives will be much longer than they already have.
