HP A3312A and disk capacities

[Fred Martin_1]

My A3312A has three 4.3 GB disks in it now; am I limited as to what capacity disks can go in there, and can I mix?

[Bernhard Mueller · Accepted solution]

yes you can mix disks in the HASS largest I know of is 18GB though

Hello!

As i know you can go up to 36G
but the 18G is less expancive.

Now another question - I've been told the 18GB drive takes two slots in the box. There are two columns, each with 4 slots. I have three 4 GB drives now, so the top slot of the first column is open, and the second column is all open.

Do drives need to be contiguously installed, or can I just put that 18GB drive at the bottom of the 2nd column, leaving the top slot of the first column open?

It's ok to have slots open (at least there're no filler panels to close it).
'Big' (half-height) drives are:
A5239A 18GB
A3649A 9GB
'little' (low-profile) drives are:
A5238A/A5285A 9GB
A5286A 18GB
