I recently was given a small USB flash drive as an advertising gimmick. When I plug it in, only one drive appears: a CD drive with 42kb used (just an autorun.inf file which launches the manufacturer's website). I know U3 drives also appear as CD drives...

Hi all,
I'm struggling to find any documentation on this, I know the Dell PowerEdge 2950 supports both SAS and SATA drives but I'm not sure if I need to anything to swap them over, do I need new caddies for example. Can I just swap the drives?
Many thanks...

I had the same question.
You can just swap them.
Yes...
There are exceptions, but they're done so many times, although on 1950's .
As a general rule, wherever you have SAS drives you can use SATA.

You can then write well over 90....
Getch() and printf, then you can provide simple mocks that provide test input and check output.
First off decouple all accesses to the hardware with simple routine calls, e.g .

That is : How can I check the drive size which is not formatted... Don't consider the formatted drives...just unformatted drive.

You can use DeviceIoControl....
For windows..
Or, if you can open the raw device file, you can use the BLKGETSIZE ioctl .
To find the size/partitions.
Under Linux, if you want the size of the entire drive, read /sys/block/sda/size .

I'm looking at buying a hot-swap NAS that supports SATA/SATA II hard drives. Can I get any SATA drive and put it into the hot-swap trays it comes with, or will I need to find a certain kind of drive?

Hope....
Check you NAS documentation to see if there some limitation about it .
Some systems can support swapping in a bigger drive with similar characteristicsNormaly any SATA I/II you can found in the markey will fit in.
