Yes That is what i had thought. Total of 4 HDD is
3.0TB, so i presume each
HDD can be 750GB. But the IBM consultant insisted
that they had not tested
x3200 with 500GB SATA HDD. If the machine can
support that, I wont have a
problem installing CentOS using raid-1 with 2 x
500GB SATA drives.
I wonder who should I listen to. The website or the
consultant.
Doesn't Consultant = Salesperson ?
Yes.
