I've got a couple of questions for the list.
(1) Can 9 GB drives be used in the same type shelves as 4 GB drives? I'm talking about narrow drives here.
(2) Can they be mixed (4 and 9 GB drives) in a shelf? How about on the same controller?
(3) Is there any source for drives other than Netapps?
(4) If one obtains drives from another source can they be put under support (yeah I know, fat chance)? Would they void current hardware support? Would they void software support?
(5) If I had some extra narrow shelves is there a market? We're thinking about decommissioning one of our older filers.
Reply-to set to the list, as I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that other folks are interested.
Thanks in advance Steve Woods
