SCSI Drive Replacement

[Carlosinfl]

I am trying to upgrade my server that came with Seagate Ultra U320 10K 146GB drives for some newer / larger U320 10K 300GB drives.

I found ST3300007LC model drives on their site which appear to be the same (just larger capacity) as the ones that shipped with my server.

Here are the originals that shipped with my Dell.

Now my parts upgrade rep at CDW offered these and said they "should" work which I said they wont. Am I correct in assuming that the Number of pins on the I/O connector do not match therefore this will not be compatible?

The only replacements you can use are the ST3300007LC's you already found, presuming your current are ST3-series LC's. Sometimes Dell uses these garbage 68-to-80 bridge adapters. Recommend replacing the server instead if you find those. (Actually, I recommend dumping Dell period.)

Thanks for the info. I am happy with Dell however...
