I want to say the difference is in HVD vs LVD SCSI ... 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?
