Yes, but make sure it is 1.0" with an 80-pin SCA SCSI adapter. You'll also
need to buy a Sun "SPUD" bracket to mount the hard drive in. The
bracket is pretty hard to find. It's a little tiny piece of metal and
plastic that probably costs Sun about $2 to make but they won't sell it to
you as a spare part. You can only get it from Sun with one of their
outrageously priced hard drives. If you hunt around the net, you can
probably find someone that sells them. I think I got mine from
www.bluestarco.com.

Now I have my E450 humming along perfectly with 18 Gig Seagate Cheetah
drives.

Cheers,

George
