Hi AL,

They will take 1, 2 4 or 9 GB 1" drives _BUT_ many have an early revision
psu which will pop if too heavily loaded. I know this from experience and
watching the list, my psu went bad with a load of 5 x 9 GB, 1 x 4 GB and 2 x
2 GB, all others 1 GB. The replacement psu was spec for a later revision SSA
and works fine.

With 9 GB drives, you may only see 8 GB depending on manufacturer and/or
firmware (Seagates 8 GB, Fujitsu or IBM 9 GB from memory).

Good luck.
