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.
