IBM EXP15 enclosure maximum drive size

[BD]

Is there a maximum drive size limit for these enclosures?

The manual states 9, 18 and 36 gig drives are available. I am guessing
36gb may have been the largest available at time of maufacture.

I'm looking to fill a few of these with 50 gb drives.

Thanks in advance,
BD

No there no size limit, but only solutions with the original disks are
supported by IBM.
Rememeber to think about the drive temperature, if you plan to use "non
supported disks".
Finaly there might be some size limitations in you SCSI controller bios.

Thanks for the reply. The drives I am looking at are Seagates in the
same series/family of the IBM original 9gb Seagate drives and I am
assuming they will be fine.

Note taken about the heat issue. Manual states warning about heat
issue if one power supply goes down as well.
