Hello

I one of mine clients has a old Ultra 1 box and it just run out of
space. the drive is currently 18 GB. Is it possable that I could a
bigger Hard drive for this box like a 300 GB. I already recommanded a
new box with Moden ATA interfaces.

Sure, any SCA SCSI drive should work fine.

300GB seems kinda overkill though moving up from an 18G. The Seagate
ST3300007LC is $717 from CDW and should work fine (although I've never
used one in an Ultra 1, just random Segate/other 36G and 73GB SCA drives).

If you're asking about a 300GB IDE drive, then no way, won't fit,
and won't have any way to interface to the system.

Hi,

Just add/replace with any hotplug SCSI SCA drive 9-300GB.
The Ultra 1 can hold 2 drives internally.

It should be possible to either replace the 18GB drive with a larger
drive or to add an additional SCSI drive. The Ultra 1 is old, but if it
is still doing the job there is no reason to replace it.

"Modern" ATA interfaces have many limitations. Sun's ATA interfaces
don't support disks larger than 127GB. None of them supports more than
two drives. None of them, that I know of, support magnetic tapes of any
sort.
