Sun advertise the Sun Blade 100 in several supported configurations, and it does seem from their literature that the largest hard drive configuration supported is 2 x 15GB. You can use a drive of any capacity supported by OpenBoot though. I’ve replaced the 15GB Seagate drive with a 40GB Western Digital, for instance (the Seagate is quite slow and noisy). I had no problems at all doing this, either from the software or the hardware. michael@wells.org.
