K380 Internal Disk

[Joan Blais]

What's the largest size disk available for a K380?

Hi,

According to partsurfer ( http://partsufer.hp.com ) and my (admittedly poor) memory: A3629-69003 1016.00
9.1GB Ultra Wide SCA SCSI hard drive(Seagate ST39236LC)

If you can find them 18 Gig drives should fit in the internal drive bays.

I do have 18s in some of Ks. Are 32s out of the question?

Please note that the part number Pete posted is for an EXCHANGE drive. If you order one from HP Parts Direct, HP will be expecting return of a defective drive of the same type. The price of the non-exchange part (A3629-67003) is US $1829.00

Also note that the drive is actually a Single-Ended Ultra SCSI unit and includes an adapter to convert it from SE to Differential SCSI, and also allows the 80-pin SCA-type drive to connect to the 68-pin FWD SCSI connector in the K chassis.

Presumably, you could use this type of adapter to connect an 18GB or larger SCA-type SCSI drive and successfully use it.

Regards,

Dave
