Ich you have the 6 drives in your box how do you know which has which
Serial number or such?

I have three Sun-Blade with each 160 SCSI drives in 10 cages and  to  of
the cages are a little bit different so I have to made labels and  stick
them on the front of 128 drives and for the other 32 on the topbeginning
of the drive.

This should be of course done  before  any  drives  will  be  installed,
because I am sure, no one like to play Hard-Disk-Jokey.
