Hello Lionel,

I'm sure that you can do a Yahoo search to find this out, but your drive 
bays are for Ultra160 SCSI drives.

The largest drives I ever had in a V240 were 146Gb drives, but in this 
personally archived email from the Sun Managers mailing list, this 
gentleman verified correct operation of Seagate 300Gb SCSI drives.

Hope this helps,

Jerry

Yes, a larger disk will work fine in a V240.  Some people warned that 
there could be additional heat generated.

We installed a 300GB Seagate drive yesterday without any issues.

Hello,

The System Handbook for the V240 lists the maximum disk sold/supported 
by Sun is
143GB.  Does anyone have any personal experience with using a larger 
disk in the
V240?  Will it depend on PROM?  If so, what version is needed to run a 
larger
disk?  We need to move data from our SAN disks to a local disk before the
particular SAN experiences a failure in order to minimize any outages.
