Ok to put 4Gb Diskpack disks into my SSA110?

Yes, it is OK to have the 4Gb disks in the SSA110, providing you have

an up to date power supply:

It depends on your power supply.  The 7200 RPM disk drives

power than the 5400 RPM disk drives. Model 100 Series chassis with
older


revisions of power supply (300-1098-03 or -02) may require an upgrade
to


revision -04.  If a tray contains eight or more 7200 RPM disk
drives, an


upgrade to the -04 supply (order number 540-2465) is necessary. 
All


disks coming from Sun these days are 7200 RPM - since March. 
You need


to know what type of power supply and disks you have in the 110.

THis is right out of Sun's Price List Manual.

I've decided to just add a Multipack to the machine instead

of messing with the SSA.
