Fixed Hard Drives
Most SCSI hard drives that adhere to “AV” specifications will work with the DM-80/800. Keep in mind, dri-
ves that do not meet AV specs are often still reliable for data storage – but we don’t recommend them for
recording. In the following charts, we’ve made a distinction as to the reliability of each drive for both stor-
age and recording/playback.
The DM-800 can format a compatible drive with a capacity of up to 4 GB per SCSI buss (A and B) – includ-
ing the internal drive. If you’re using multiple external drives, the DM-800 is capable of cascading up to six
SCSI devices per buss with the same 4 GB per buss limit. Again, any internal drive is included in the 4 GB
total. Rackmount drives are available from companies listed under Contact Sources below.
