    TaskAlfa hard drives

    They are SATA, right? Can you use computer hard drives, or are you forced to purchase from Kyocera?

      Thanks a bunch! Can I use a 500GB to replace a 160GB?

        My understanding is the hard drive needs to be the same size.

          From what I understand they do indeed have to be the same size and we had to get from Kyocera to get some to work the one time we had to replace HDDs. I'd be interested to find out if you were able to get regular HDD's to work.

            I wonder if you partition it on a PC first and make first partition 160GB if it would work?

              I wondered the same thing, but was too chicken to risk purchasing a non-usable hard drive.

                  In class they told us the dual 160GB HDDs are loaded with a RAID, and are specifically paired up (CS-400ci/CS-500ci). I've replaced a few, but always OEM. =^..^=
                  If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                  1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                  2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                  3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                  4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                  5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
