According to Sun's documentation a 73.4 GB is the largest supported.
Since Veritas does a lot of the work on the A5200 others may work, but would
not be supported.
If you want super big drives you'll want something newer.
The latest is the StorEdge 6140 which can take up to 500 GB SATA drives.

sunsolve... But "supported" here means that Sun Support Services will
replace disks if under service contract. But it _might_ work, so give it
a go... At least 146GBs should work, but I've never tried. |

What do you mean by that? That Veritas/Symantec has anything to do with
the HW or that there's a lot of A5200 that are connected to systems
running VxFS/VxVM??? The latter I think have no correlation to if the
A5200 is working with some disk sizes or not. UFS/SVM or ZFS should be
as good filesystems/volume managers as ever VxFS/VxVM... |

Hi, thanks for answer, with this device (i have two of this without
disk, bought at very low price) i will make a large storage for my
servers, and before buying any disk, i have asked for disk
compatibility.
Thanks to all !! |

Are there supported by A5200, Which is the larger supported

I'm pretty sure there's no real limit - the A5200 is just a JBOD
really. There might be limits in terms of FC compatibility. I'm fairly
sure I came across A5200s with 146GB disks in at least.
One issue to bear in mind though is bandwidth. I think an A5200 can't
have more than 2 FC connections to it effectively, and they're Gbit.
So that's only 200MB/s total bandwidth, which isn't that much given how
many disks you can put in them. And to get that you need to run it in
split loop. So the sensible way to run them is probably as a mirror
with each half of the mirror getting a loop to itself (I think this
means that one half of the mirror is the front disks and one is the
back).
(Of course this is or soon will be the case for more-or-less any FC
device now - I guess FC will get killed by, probably, ethernet.)
