Proliant DL380 G2 hard drive

Have several Proliant DL380 G2 servers with mirrored drives, would like to purchase a spare drive for the servers. The current drives are 18.2GB Ultra 3 SCSI yet when I look on the Compaq website it shows a part # of 143920-001 as the drive which is a SCSI 2 drive. Does anybody know what the replacement drive is for this server?

Thanks
Bill

The 18Gb 10K Ultra3 ave been discountinued, but utilizing a current 36Gb U320 is OK. Your drive wiii adjust to your raid set. The pricing of the 36Gb is where the 18Gb was then. You can still find some 18Gb drives U3 out there in the resller market. But U320 drives are OK and will slow down to u2 levels. Actually spare parts sometimes ships 36Gb instead of the 18Gb !
