I have a SUN 480R and want to replace the internal hard drives with larger ones.
Will a Seagate ST3146807FC 146 GB Hard Drive work in a SUN 480R?
Do you know how many drives will fit in a SUN 480?
I am currently running SUN Solaris 10 on this box and need more space.

omarfarid,

Thanks for the link. Could you tell me how I can order a Sun disk drive?
I don't know much about what hardware matches what configuration.
I have looked on SUN's site but could not find hard drives. Do you have to go through a var?

Yes, 2. There are mounting plates which you might need if you are not actually replacing
existing disks.

Thank you blu for all the clarifications.

In some countries you need to order from authorized suppliers and not from sun directly.
