What's the diff between:
A5596A & A6485A?

My info is that they're both 36Gb 10krpm HotSwap FC discs for the FC10

Mike,

According to Partsurfer (I won't give you the link) the A5596A is "no longer supplied", so I suspect that the 6485 is simply an updated version because they otherwise look identical.

I've just heard a whisper that you don't want to mix the two types across two sides of an FC10 if you're mirroring

Does this sound reasonable?
To me it doesn't

Mike,

I haven't heard that one and am inclined to agree with your assessment, but that's purely opinion because I don't know.
