Re: replacing c256 hard drive

Dr. Serdar,

The 73gb hard drive Siemens uses is the Seagate ST373455LW. Whether or not 9.51 allows the full use of 73gb is a mystery to me still. However, 36gb is still fairly adequate for storage, unless you plan on never deleting any studies, or transferring them to a DICOM network.

As for what brand other than Seagate... I'm not entirely sure. It is definitely possible to do, you would just need to set up the jumpers properly. I think that at some point Siemens may have gotten the best bargain using Seagate drives, but who knows?

Hope this helps.
