Default Re: Sanp 4200 FSCK fatal error

The older model snaps cam with IBM / Hitachi drives. I generally use Hitachi or Seagates. When you set raids, It is prefered but not required that all drives be the same models, size and firmware. The drives must be with in 2-3% of each other. If you start mis-matching drives you run in to problems. Different mfg have different, heads, cyl, platters.....

If you need to recover the data you will need to find a drive that is close. There are a few utilities that allow you to change the capacity.

Server drives are built a little heavier the most drives, also more expensive.
