I believe it takes the same drives as the rx[12]6[02]0 and the like,
which I am told are 80 pin. They have their own sleds to fit into the
chasis - no idea if the sleds are sold separately.

HP won't sell the sleds separately. However, we found someone that
will sell us the sleds from used machines. I think we'll just wait
until we get the sleds as we're getting conflicting answers to this
question.

Thanks though.
