disks for Sparc Storage Array

2007-12-25 11:50:00

Thanks to all who replied.

Here're some of suggestions:

David Schiffrin <daves@adnc.com>:

I've used non-sun drives in SSA's and Sun machines.

Try falcon for drive brackets. www.falcons.com They just got bought

by artecon, but I suspect they've still got the brackets for sale.

Rave (www.rave.com) sells them for about $70 apiece.

Rich Kulawiec <rsk@itw.com>:

I'd say that going through Usenet's misc.forsale.computers.workstation

is probably a good way to find them. All sorts of Sun-related

equipment is for sale there every day.

All you helped me to convince my local Sun provider to sell me

these frames.

Thank you again.

Here's the original question:

> We have a number of sparc storage arrays with 6x4G disks.

> We would like to add more disks to SSA-114. We have available

> six non-SUN single-connected disks (Seagate ST34572WC), but

> we need ONLY SUN`s plastic frames to insert them into SSA. Our local

> SUN reseller refused to sell that plastic frames and offers us to buy

> six SAME DISKS (they differ by firmware only) supplied with such

> frames.

> So, the question is:

> 1. Does anybody knows where can we buy such frames ?

> 2. Does anybody has experience in working with non-SUN

> disks under SSAs ?

> Any help will be highly appreciated and summarized.

> Thank you.
