harddisk for SS20

[ak_father]

Hi all,

I want to replace the harddisk in my sun sparc 20.
What type of scsi harddisk is suitable for it
and which model recommended?

For supported configs... check out the FE handbook:

and probably any sca scsi disk... but the big sizes might not work..

They must have an SCA connector, they must be 1" high, they must not
be HVD. Pretty much anything else will work though. The main problem
is heat in that machine. I wrote a web page some time back on cooling
an SS20, which covers the matter of disks.
