i know this is hardware, not software related, but i figure this would be a good place to ask..
I have a sparcstation/5 and what to make a file server out of it. Does anyone know what the largest SCA disk that it will accept?
Sun's site shows the largest drive they provided for it is 4.2GB, but I don't see why it couldn't support any SCA SCSI drive.
Heat is probably the main factor you have to consider.
I'm fairly certain we had a 9GB drive running in one, but it's too long ago to remember.
Or are you talking about using an external disk pack?
Again, I don't believe there to be a limit, but it'd be really slow :o
yeah i was just gonna make a quick and easy network file server by throwing a huge sca drive inside... now i am reconsidering due the lack of speed
