This is a bit modern for the list, but I'm hoping
someone here has some
experience. I've just been given a pair of BA356 enclosures, and the
one has 6 empty DS-RZ1CB-VW SSB's.
That is good :)
The shelf itself is a BA356-KD with BA35X-MD 2X fans,
and a BA35X-MH
16-bit I/O Personality Module.
OK.
My question is, while the DS-RZ1CB-VW SSB's are
intended for 4.3GB
7200RPM *SCA* drives, can they handle 9 or 18GB 10,000RPM SCA drives?
Yep. The
size is not the problem... 10K or 15K drives *might* get a
little hot. I stuck several 18GB drives into 2.1GB carriers myself,
and had no trouble there.
Note that the creme/green carriers are for FAST10 (-VA (narrow) and -VW
(wide)) and the blue carriers are for FAST20 (Ultra) disks. Obviously,
you can stick FAST20 drives in an F10 carrier, but that wont do you
much good ;-)
