[SunRescue] What's the maximum height for a drive in an LX?

[Ken Hansen]

Oh wait, the 68 <-> 50 pin adapter comment may not apply - if it is a 50 pin narrow drive, you should be fine - but you may want to think about heat issues, as Seagate drives tend to run hot, in the opinion of most here on the list...

HTH,

Ken
