Quick Question...what's the biggest SCSI hard drive available?

[Andy22]

I was just talkin' with a friend and was wondering. The biggest I could find on Pricewatch was the 180 gigger from Seagate.

Thanks-

That would be it. Is 180GB not big enough?

get a fibre array of 180 x 14 drives in a 3U rack... fibre switch and fibre controller... would cost about 100,000 but well worth it for terrabites

Oh yeah it's big enough...I said I bet there were 500 gigabyte <single> drives available and he said no way.

Obviously I was wrong

Hmm, couldn't quite do that yet. The 180GB drives are 1.6&quot;... I think the racks will only hold 9 or 10 of those. We're actually planning on doing that for a project here as soon as Compaq releases their flavor of the drives.
