Hi KCSekhar,

SAS Hard Drives
146 GB 15K rpm SAS 3.0 Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive
300 GB 15K rpm SAS 3.0 Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive
300 GB 15K rpm SAS 3.0 Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive

Up to 3 of the following 3.5" SATA and 3.5" 15K SAS drives, or up to 4 of the 2.5" small form factor
(SFF) 10K SATA drives are allowed.
(2.5" SFF drives cannot be mixed with 3.5" drives)

SATA Hard Drives
160 GB 7,200 rpm SATA 3.0 Gb/s with NCQ 3.5" Hard
Drive
250 GB 7,200 rpm SATA 3.0 Gb/s with NCQ 3.5" Hard
Drive
320 GB 7,200 rpm SATA 3.0 Gb/s with NCQ 3.5" Hard

For hard drives, 1 GB = 1 billion bytes; TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 12
GB of hard drive (or system disk) is reserved for the system recovery software (XP and XP Pro). Up to 3 GB
of system disk is reserved for system recovery software (Vista).

Hopefully this might help, for futher refrence please find the Office HP document for HP Z600 workstation.

The max capacity supported is 2tb in one HDD, you only can install 4tb on the two bahias.

Sorry for my english.
