Default HSG80 Firmware / Drive capacity question

Hello,

I was wondering if my HSG80 at firmware 8.6F supports 146GB drives, or do I
need to upgrade my firmware to 8.7?

TIA

From memory you should be OK with 8.6. I don't remember there ever being
anything in QuickSpecs that specified that they were only supported on 8.7
and later.

Cheers, Mike.

146 GB drives on an HSG80 require firmware 8.7, you should also upgrade to
SecurePath 4.

The official word when 146 GB drives was released was ACS 8.6F-10 at a
minimum to support that capacity. Of course, it's usually best to try to use
the latest firmware, ACS8.7-4 as far as I know.
SecurePath 4.0c is the latest, but I don't see any direct connection between
146GB drives and SecurePath 4.0c.
