Adaptec said at one time that they were going to put a stop to users upgrading there units. They wanted the revenue of 4x$$$ they could get on the HD's and sell new units. These smaller units have been the most trouble when it comes to upgrades. I have not played with one to see what is going on. I suspect that since the OS looks for an ID chip, the restrictin may be there. Or it could be a memory thing, too. I just don't no. The 1gig HD have been used suscessful in the 4500's. But have not heard of any one installing anything larger. The OS supports 23T or more.
