Max Hard Disk capacity supported in rp2470

[Abdul Salam H S_1]

Hi,

I need to upgrade my Hard Disk in rp2470 server. Any idea what is the max Hard disk size available to purchase if I need to install it as an internal Hot Plug disk? Has anyone installed a 146GB internal drive in rp24xx? If so, what part number?

Thanks & Best Regards,
Abdul Salam

Hello Abdul,
Robert-Jan is right : 146GB is the max internal disk capacity.
I've god 2x73 and it works wery well.

Just for information, needing now more capacity for backup, i just buy the MSA-30 external bay, with 3 (max: 14 !!) 146GB disks.

Hello,

I have already got 2 * 73GB working fine in another rp2470. Just needed to know whether I can upgrade to 2 * 146GB as internal Hot Plug disks.
Anyways, thanks for the info regarding the MSA. I can suggest it for some other servers needing relatively larger space.

Thanks & Regards,
Abdul Salam

Hi Abdul,

if you want the cheap solution, the msa30
is better. The price of msa30 with 2x146GB HDDs is equal to price of one A7075A 146GB HDD for rp24xx.

msa30 spec:
1 x 302969-B21 HP Storageworks MSA 30 SB Storage
2 x 286716-B22 HP 146GB 10K U320 Pluggable Hard Drive
