Looking for Seagate drive compatibility
Good afternoon,
I need to replace a drive in a 4500 Series device. We're currently using:
Segate 36G
Model Number: ST136403FC
Firmware: 144A
Part Number: 9L7004-024
Serial Number: LT474215
Under the second UPC on the drive's label, the numbers 3900012-04 appear. So here are my questions:
Can anyone tell me what the 3900012-04 means?
Can this drive be replaced with a bigger drive?
If other drives in the 4500 have 3900012-04, do any replacements need to be the same in order to be compatible?
Thanks for any information, and I'd be glad to add any more info to help clarify if necessary.

Hello Dave,

Can anyone tell me what the 3900012-04 means?
390-0012 is the Sun Part #/Manufacturing Part # of the drive (w/o SPUD bracket and plate). -04 is a revision #.
X6722A is the option # (drive, SPUD bracket and plate) and 540-4192 the Manufacturing Part # (of the above 3 components) on the label on the front of the SPUD bracket.

It's unlikely that you can still obtain one of these 1.6" height drives. I don't know if you can mix these drives with low profile (1 " height) drives.
Depending on the number and age/condition of the drives, replacing all of them with more recent and higher capacity ones might be an option.
