Hard drives for Primergy SX30

Postby hsertic » Wed Jan 27, 2010 15:14

Dear Sir,

I have Primergy SX30 with several Fujitsu Siemens drives (146Gb/10k) that need replacement. I have heard that Fujitsu Siemens no longer produces U320 drives.
Can you please tell me which drives can be used in SX30? I would like to use Seagate Cheetah ST3146855LW (146Gb/15k) U320 drives, but I'm not sure that they are compatible with SX30.
Is there any hardware compatibility list for SX30? Are there any known compatibility issues for U320 drives?

Many thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Hrvoje Sertic

Fujitsu-Siemens never "produced" U320 drives, they just "sold" them. :mrgreen:
You will probably not be able to operate the ST3146855LW, because it bears a 68-pin connector. The slots in the SX30 require 80-pin SCA connectors, and therefore, you need ...LC drives.

Any compatibility issues are probably more controller-related than related to this 'dumb' storage box.
