View Single Post - Need new SCSI (spare) drives for servers at work

I think you'll find the 72GB drives of that model are more plentiful, (I just replaced my raid 5 array in one of my ML370g2 boxes with them 2 weeks ago). What raid are you running? It sound like raid 1, if so, you want to have a spare handy. If raid 5, the server will still run with a failed drive (albeit slower), until you can get a replacement, (better to have some on hand either way though). You'll probably want to use HP/Compaq drives..
