Hard drive replacement

[Pierre Samson]

I need to replace 2 ST39173WC, someone knows what would fit in and has 18G of capacity at least?

Pierre,

It would probably be easier to find something if we knew what it needs to fit into.

So this is the internal drive you want to replace?

Pierre,

According to the Seagate website ( http://www.seagate.com/support/kb/disc/howto/interpret_model.html#SCSIPostDA_0 ), that's a "3.5-inch, low-profile (LP), 1-inch high, SCSI, 80-pin SCA (Hot Swapable)". I can find no equivalent drive of any larger capacity. If you look at the available SCSI drives ( http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/interface_scsi_st3.html ), you'll see that there aren't any ending in WC that have a larger capacity.

18Gb is the largest "HP Brand" disc for the D-series

Eugeny mentioned the A5528A
Other 18Gb Discs that would work are
A5286A & A5239A [HH]
I don't think that any of these are available remarketed anymore, but I could be wrong
On the used market they are expensive still
[I've seen $1,100 recently]

You can get larger & cheaper 3rd party discs that will go in the D-Class & the HASS
I've seen 36Gb & 73Gb sizes offered
