Fixed Hard Drives
Most SCSI hard drives that adhere to “AV” specifications will work with the VS-880. Keep in mind, drives
that do not meet AV specs, though not recommended for recording and playback, are often still reliable for
data storage. In the following charts, we’ve made a distinction as to the reliability of each drive for both
storage and recording/playback.
The VS-880 can format a compatible drive in either 512 MB or 1 GB (1000 MB) partitions. As you will see
in the chart, some drives are larger than 1 GB. In these cases, the VS-880 is capable of addressing up to
four 1 GB partitions per SCSI I.D. Therefore, drives with up to 4 gigabytes, can be fully utilized by the
VS-880. Rackmount drives are available from companies listed under Contact Sources on page 2.
