USB External Hard Drive for Solaris 10 Sparc
Hi-

I would like to know if anyone has used any USB External Hard Drive, about 500/750GB or 1TB, with any of the Solaris 10 "SPARC" systems. Not on intel nor amd platform.

I'm looking for the compatible drive and found a few listed on Sun solaris ready page, but I'd like to have inputs from actual users and know which device is actually working before I'm stuck with something that machine won't take.

So to recap:
I need USB External Hard Drive: 500/750GB or 1TB

For this Solaris 10 system:
  • Sun Microsystems sun4u Sun Fire V240
  • System clock frequency
  • OBP 4.16.2 2004/10/04 18:22 Sun Fire V210/V240,Netra 240
  • System Configuration: Sun Microsystems sun4u Sun Fire V240
  • System clock frequency: 167 MHZ
  • Memory size: 6GB


Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
