Hi

As usual the answer is it depends, there has been a number of questions
about this over the last few months. My experience is that you can run
larger disks, but recommend you run Sol 8 as there were limits to earlier
versions. There may still be limits with 8, but not as limiting as 6 & 7.
You should be ok with 7 for 20Gb.

  Hello,

  Is it possible to put in any size IDE hard drive in a Sun Ultra 5
basically or not?  I guess I wouldn't see a problem, but i'm also not a
complete expert on the matter.  Before I buy one, I wanted to check on it.

  For example, could I put a 20 GB Western Digital 7200 rpm IDE drive in
there with out a problem?

  Thanks!
