replacing 750gb drives with 2TB drives in Promise Vtrak

[bartbroek]

I'm thinking of buying a second hand Promise Vtrak E and J class unit ( apple part TQ8110LL/A and TQ812LL/A) for use in a xsan environment as replacement for my xraids. I think the Promise modelnumber is J or E 610s.

I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the drives from 750 GB to 2TB and which drive models are compatible with these units. Promise told me there is no updated replacement list for mac units after firmeware 2.5.

Has anyone a good suggestion for a replacement drive model?

Thanks in advance,

Bart
