I've routinely used former SUN drives in other systems. I'd proceed without fear.

Here's a question for you SUn people - if I have a HP/Seagate ST19171WC SCA hard drive in my server and found some drives that are Sun/Seagate ST19171WC SCA drives, is there anything different int he Sun, ie they should work in my HP server despite them being made for Sun by Seagate right? Just checking and I'm guessing that they are exactly the same just labeled for the OEM by Seagate and the firmware showing either HP or Sun when they show up in various HD utilities. Thanks in advance for the help, I'm just making sure I didn't do too much acid in the 60's (no wait I was only 13 in 69...that doesn't work)
