Default SNAP 2200 HDD Sizes ?

Hi all !

I am currently running two Snap Server 2200 servers on my network. One is using 4.0.830 and the other is using 4.0.860

Since i have to restructure my network and kick some of the smaler units i operated due to electricity costs, i wanted to upgrade the capacity of the HDDs in the two Snaps.

But now the question ? How high can i go on the HDDs ? It would really really bite to buy 4 new disks just to find out they are not supported by the servers.

I planed on getting two HDD SAMSUNG HD400LD AT133 400GB 7200UM, 8MB C. for each unit. Has anyone any experience with this disk size ?

How would i go the easiest way about installing the new drives ?

I read that its best to first inistialize the servers with mirror raid , then switch them out one by one and have the mirror rebuild. Is that correct ?

If so, what disk do i have to change first or does it not matter? Will the raid be rebuild outomaticly or do i have to inistiate it over the debug console ?

For input regarding these matters i would be gratefull.

Best regards

Tec
