Well,
A certain YES is the answer. People are using them with no problems,
so if you are happy not to have them maintained by SUN then go for it.
Main points:
- many companies sell them.

- You can have different size disks in the same server
- Veritas VM / DiskSuite is happy with them
- The general feeling that bigger disks will work in Sun machines, but Sun
only supports disks which it can guarantee will work.

> 1) do 73GB disks work in a E450 any problems?

> 2) I may use Solstice DiskSuite/Solaris Volume Manager to combine disks, but
> again has any one used 73GB disks with this? I guess if I go for 73G
