[SunHELP] Disks for Ultra5?

[Patrick de Ruiter]

Hi guys,
Just to let you know.

The maximum harddisk size in the ultra 5 and 10 is 137GB.
I got an 120GB drive in my U10 and it works like a charm.

Cheers,

Where do I locate the latest OBP for my Ultra 5/10.

	David,

	if OBP is up-to-date as you say, the machine should run just fine off of
	80GB drives (I'm running 80GB drives in an Ultra10 which is basically
	the same hardware). I understand that the physical limit is somewhere in
	the 150GB range (forgot the actual number) so a max. drive size of 120GB
	should render you no unallocated disk space.

	Sure makes a nice file server for the home ;)

	Regards,

	Jerry
