Hello, I have an opportunity to purchase a Storagetek Fibre Disk Array
for a good price.  It may be just the thing we need, but I'm having a
hard time finding any information on it.  I looked all over and didn't
find a model number that seems correct, so, I thought maybe someone
would recognize it and be able to tell me what model or even series it
may be.  It was manufactured around '99 or '00.  It contains (40) 36GB
Fibre drives.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

If I am not wrong it could be STK 9176.

Looks like it could be a StorageTek 9153 array.  Don't know much about
them though...

HVB.

I think 9153 is correct...I just pulled the exact same controller
out of an Amdahl Spectris disk array. STK didn't make this
equipment. LSI Logic I think.
I'll see if I can find any of my early STK disk array books
and send via email.

I correct myself!
This is an STK 9153, made by MetaStor.
Books on the way.

more and make sure it will work for what I need.

Hello All,

Thanks again to everyone who helped me to identify this STK unit.
Turns out though that my clients needs have changed and now they do not
need this storage array.  So, I thought I would see if anyone here may
be interested in purchasing it.  The folks we got if from told us it is
in fine working order.  Thanks again.

Regards, Aron
