Snap 4400 and biggest drives?

tje · 02-25-2008, 04:30 AM

Anyone put 4 x 750g drives in one of these yet?
I was looking at getting 4 x ST3750640A

The Guardian OS (v4) supports them, do not know about the older version. There was a user that installed the 750gig in a 4500.

Sounds good.
I guess I'll give them a go

I have 4 x 500 GB drives in my 4400 units, and I know someone who put 4 x 750 GB drives in a 4400 with no problems. I used 500 GB drives due to $ per GB ratio. The 750's are still a bit steep in that ratio (but getting better day by day).

Sounds good... how much useable space do you get with 4x500?

It all depends on how much space you allocate for SnapShots. Approx 1.5T - snapshots, def is 20% unless you changed it.

Honestly, I do not rememeber exact off the top of my head (I don't have access to one of them at my current location), but it is just a little under 1.4 TB with no Snapshot space reserved.
