I need to replace a drive in a 4500 Series device. We're currently using:

Segate 36G
Model Number: ST136403FC
Firmware: 144A
Part Number: 9L7004-024
Serial Number: LT474215

Under the second UPC on the drive's label, the numbers 3900012-04 appear. So here are my questions:

Can anyone tell me what the 3900012-04 means?
Can this drive be replaced with a bigger drive?
If other drives in the 4500 have 3900012-04, do any replacements need to be the same in order to be compatible?

Thanks for any information, and I'd be glad to add any more info to help clarify if necessary.

 

Have you called Sun support? They should be able to answer all these questions. 800-USA-4-SUN.

I'm not familiar with the 4500's, I've got a few 490's here though, all with internal disks. If it's not part of a RAID, and the data can be restored, it shouldn't matter what size the new one is. If it is part of a RAID, then it will have to be a compatible replacement. Again, Sun support might be your best bet.
