- I am interested in adding non-HP 1.3 Gbyte hard drives to a
- HP/Apollo 425t, 425s, and DN10000 workstations. I am looking
- for non-HP disks in order to keep the cost of the disks down.
-
- The 425t has two 200 MByte internal drives, so I plan to buy
- an HP model 660D Mass Storage System. I would then buy a 1.3
- GByte drive and install it into the 660D.
-
- The 425s was purchased with a 1.3 GByte (HP) disk and I wish
- to install another disk.
-
- The DN10000 has one 697 Mbyte internal drive and I would like
- to add a 1.3 GByte drive onto the single controller.
-
- My questions are as follows:
-
- 1. What non-HP 1.3 GByte drives are compatible with the
- above mentioned machines and configurations?
-
- 2. What hardware (ie: screws, mounts, etc) if any do I
- need to mount the drives?
-
- 3. Should I expect any compatibility problems between the
- HP and non-HP hardware?
-
- 4. What 3rd party vendors sell hard disk upgrades for the
- above mentioned Apollo's?
-
- 5. Is there anyone out there in net land that has had
- some experience with adding disks to their Apollo's?
-
-
- Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...
