Hello,

My question was :

I need a new hard drive on my sun machine (ultra 60)
I saw the price of the sun hard drive.
I wonder if it is possible to install a drive with the same characteristics
from another company (like western digital, samsung...) or ONLY sun disk ?

I had a lot of answers. I thank all the persons who answered.
It is possible to use other hard drive (especially Seagate hard drive). It
is also possible to use IDE drive.
The main problem is about the size of the SUN drive because they need
special caddies. People also tell me that hard drive for sun machine need
special features. So it is preferable to buy disk from
Companies that sell disk for Sun and not any kind of hard drive. The
recommended society was Transtec (www.transtec.com).

Sincerely,

Corinne
