You could do that; make sure you scrub before starting on this exercise. (You have only one copy, of course) >Then pull the other 200gb and insert the new 750.

Yep, I don't that and it worked. >But also and more importantly, I hit a snag on the first swap.

Yeah, the 4 pin connector is gone. You can get adapters but they only connect the 5V and the 12V (SATA also has 3.3V but 3.5" disks don't use that) >I see some other connectors in the wiring harness that look like they >go to the larger (non-data) fitting on these sata drives.

Did you remove the boot drive? Casper _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
