Sun Ultra 10 specifications

Hello,

Does anyone know the disk drive height limitation for Sun Ultra 10?

Any 1" height disk (that's the common height) fits. I don't think that you really intend to use one of these 1 5/8" height disks from the pre-gigabyte era.

What are disk drive interfaces supported by it?

The only integrated disk interface is IDE, but you can use a supported SCSI add-in board. The usable size of a IDE disk is limited to 137,438,953,472 bytes or approximately 137 (marketing) giga bytes.

This is a hardware limitation of the IDE controller, because it only supports 28-bit LBA and not 48-bit LBA.

I just realized that you are the guy who asks constantly for hardware specifications. It's always the same suggestion: Review the Sun System Handbook, locate the parts in the Full Components List, use this information for google (or your favorite search machine). That's it.
