We have used Huge drives on one of our DS systems. The people at Huge were very helpful in making it work. I would not hesitate calling them for info and assistance.

Has anyone tried using the HUGE Systems 1.6TB Media drive as an alternative to DS media storage using the Atto SCSI card controller? We tried mounting the Atto card onto our HP XW8000 so that we could mount the huge systems drive but the system, but it seems that the card isn't compatible with DS. It only displays the LSI SCSI controller card, which is the local scsi controller of the DS.

Also, since the drives of the avid media dock are limited to 173 GB SCSI, would it be possible to just purchase 12 units of 500GB drives and replace the old 173s? Since they're SCSI, don't you guys think that that would work since technically they have the same configurations? Or does avid put a special chip onto the drive and reconfigure its mechanics?

Thanks in advance.
