Upgrade Quantum 4000
 

I'm having some issues with my SnapServer Quantum 4000 and am thinking of upgrading the harddrives. If anyone's had any experience upgrading these units, I'd like to hear from you.
- What harddrives are compatible
- What procedure to follow (ie; do I need to load software)
- Suggestions on where to purchase harddrives

Details:
Model: 4000 Series
Software: 4.0.860 US
Hardware: 2.0.1
BIOS: 2.0.252
Currently: 30gb x4 (Total 120gb)

Your OS does support large HD's. But your power supply does not and will need an upgrade.

You can probably go up to 160gig without a PS issue.

Read the FAQ's in my signature.

You can go with 4 250GB hard drives in the 4000 series. As long as you keep the unit up and running at all times it should be ok. An upgrade on the PSU would be recommend.

I would not use 250GB drives or above in a stock 4000 due to OS and Power limitations. 250's could be used, but not recommended without a power supply replacement/upgrade (not cheap or easy).

You should be able to use drives below that fairly easily.

If you don't have them already, you can make me an offer on a set of FULLY TESTED used drives if you want. I have a set each of 80GB, 160GB, and 185GB drives available. I also have 250's, but now we are back to needing a power supply first.
