Ben;
Jbod.? Didn't know what it meant until today.? The computer has 4 SCSI
controllers, the Storageworks is operated in a split configuration.? 4
drives are on a RAID controller, the other 3 are on a normal SCSI
controller.
What I was getting at with replacing the disks in the carrier was
exactly what you mentioned; LVD or HVD SCSI.? I don't know what is in
there.? Is it 50 pin or 68 or 80 pin.

unless you?ve swapped out the guts yourself, I?d not mix and match...
Then again it?s been forever since I monkeyed with those things and I could be
mistaken...
As for opening them, I?ve cracked them open before. It?s possible, but they were not
manufactured to have their drives replaced easily... I damaged one last time I tried... be
careful.
Do you have the controller too, or just the jbod?
