StorageTek 2500 series.
Sun Storage 2500-M2 series.
StorageTek 6130.
StorageTek 6140.
Sun Storage 6180.
StorageTek 6540.

Sun Storage 6780.
Sun Storage Flexline 210.
Sun Storage Flexline 240.
Sun Storage Flexline 280.
Sun Storage Flexline 380.

Solution

Below are the maximum number of drives supported for each model of storage array:

Model	Maximum Number of Drives	Firmware Required	Note
6780	448	7.50.xx.xx and higher
6780	256	7.36.xx.xx and lower
6580	256
6180	64		4 host ports per controller tray
6180	112		8 host ports per controller tray
6540	224		112 per channel pair
FLX380	224		112 per channel pair
6140	112
6130	112
FLX280	224		112 per channel pair
