Yes, the newer 700 family of filers user fiber channel drives.
However, since the original question was specifically asking about
seagate barracuda scsi drives I made the blind assumption that the
person had one of the older filers. Even so, are they making some
form of mod to the fiber channel drives or are they just using
standard drives. I haven't received my new F740 filer yet so I'm
not sure what they have in them, other than the fact that I know
they are using 18 gb fiber channel drives. I have seen seagate 18
gb fiber channel drives advertised for a lot less than what Netapp
is charging me for the drives, but I would assume that my original
caution will still hold true: make sure you buy the *exact* same
model that Netapp is using or they wont work.
