So I have a new Ultra 24 and I have a stack of sata drives. Hmm, perhaps I could mix the two?

One problem, I don't have the 540-6562 spuds. (see Sun Spud HDD brackets for a discussion) Evidently I can buy the 540-6562 off of eBay, except they do not have any.

I can find a set of 5 540-3025 for $15. And it turns out that these should work! See A review of the Sun Ultra 24 workstation for why I think so. In any event, $15 including shipping is a price I'm willing to take a gamble on. I guess I could always pull a drive off of my w2100z and try, but really, I can wait for my newly ordered spuds to arrive.

Note, I could probably get my manager to order me a brand new spanking drive with the spud attached. But that is no where near as fun as wondering if my order is going to work or not.
