actually six busses, two per tray with five disks in each.  One of the 
things you had to be careful of when designing raids was not to lose 
mirrors if a tray was pulled. This was one of the reasons for replacing 
the SSA.

I believe any size disks would work....  The controller has no knowledge 
of what size the disk is, it's all SCSI commands.

Sun may only support up to 9 Gb  but supporting is not the same as 
working. It is not in Sun's commercial interest to keep testing and 
supporting old products IMO.

Ultimately, its a situation where you would have to try it.
