Got to be careful about this part. The precise capacity seems to vary slightly among the drive manufacturers. You might get a couple hundred MB more on one than the other. Your RAID controller won't like it if you replace a dud drive with one that is a fraction smaller.


I even had that problem when I ordered an additional IBM drive using the model number. Quite how they thought it was a good choice to suddenly start shipping a slightly smaller drive with the same model number !


Sun will even switch vendors using the same part number.

They should be asking the drive manufacturer to give them special drive firmware which caps the capacity. Thats how it should work anyway...
