replacement drives for LH2

[Daryn]

Is there a Seagate model of hard drive that will work in my LH2? I need one that is 4.2 gig and hot swappable. I work for a company that has about 500 HP Netservers out there and we need a replacement for drives that die. The Paramount Computer page can't supply us with the quantity that we will need in the long run. Any information on alternate drives that will work in this box on a netraid adapter would be great.

Daryn,

Are your servers under any post warranty support pack or contract because HP still has those hdd's to exchange on servers w/ active coverage or on a time and material basis. I'm assuming you have the D3583-63004/69004 hdds. Otherwise pmount or ebay are the only places where you'll be able to find small quantities of those hdds.

Ciao,
Greg

They used to be but have slowly all expired. Those are the drives we are using now, but were wondering if there is any alternatives that will work. We have a few LC2000r servers out there, but they are still under waranty and the drives for those are new enought that they are easy to find. It is only the LH2's and LHPro's that we will need drives for.

Daryn,

You can still order the D3583-69004 hdd at: https://partsdirect.hp.com/mainmenu.asp

The ones on that site are prohibitively expensive and require a defective return. Is there any other manufacurer that makes a drive that will work and what is the model number?
