Hi,

We have an e250 in which according to the official handook...:
( http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/Systems/E250/spec.html )

--------------------------------------------------------
Internal Mass Storage
Disks

Up to six 18-GB 3.5 x 1.6 in., 36-GB 3.5 x 1.0 in., 10000 rpm,
hot-pluggable Ultra SCSI-3 drives
(4.2-GB and 9.1-GB 7200 also configured)

Disk bays: Six hot-pluggable disk bays
Disk controllers: One 40-MB/sec Ultra SCSI-3 channel
----------------------------------------------------------

according to the handbook only 36G disks are supported in it.

How much is this a physical limitation?
Really can't we put 72G disks or 144G disks into it?

any help is appreciated,

charlie/lanc
