hello all,
anybody knows if it is possible to put large capacity disks in T2000,
something largiest than 72Gb proposed by Sun?
A sas disk of 300Gb from another vendor has a chance to work?

thanks for reply,

gerard

As long as it is a 2.5" disk as the ordinary 3.5" disks do not fit.

Can you please share some of the manufacturer's name of such 300GB sas
disk which fits in 2.5" cabinet? Just a thought, could you manage to
get the job done with that?

The 3.5" disk I pulled from mine seemed to be an ordinary 3.5" disk.

eh, sorry, i was thinking t1000! yeah, t2000 only takes 2.5" disks.

So to re-answer the question, yes any hard drive will work, but no one
makes a 2.5" sas disk > 73gb. HP claims to have a 146GB but good luck
getting one. The largest sata 2.5" drive is 120GB.

I don't know how a non-Sun disk would behave, but it looks like the Ultra 45
takes 146.8 GB 15000 RPM SAS disks.
This should easily replace the 73 GB 10000 RPM SAS disks that come with the
system.
The faster RPM may even improve performance.

I'm not sure if SATA would work in a T2000, but the largest internal SATA
disk Sun has listed for desktops or servers is 250 GB.
Up to 500 GB SATA disks are listed for storage arrays.

And you can get Seagate 750GB SATA disks. But these are all 3.5".

The T2000 takes 2.5" disks.

146Gb 2.5" SAS disks shouldn't be too far off, i think one manufacturer
(seagate) has them already, but i can't see anywhere that sells them.

Looks like HP might for some of its kit:

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/q...12244_div.html

I suspect that a web search for something like "146GB 2.5 SAS" might
find other hits besides HP.

Whether they would be "supported" in a T2000, I've no idea.
