Most 36G drives are 8yrs or older - they are not produced any longer.
If you’re lucky, your replacement drive is a rather „new“ 140G drive
flashed to 36G. Ask your maintenance contractor to have at least two
drives on site in your data center.
On the other hand, 36G drives can be sometimes found in the bay for less
than 40 bucks...

used marked here in europe is sometimes weird - we opted to buy
a lot of used hardware to have spare parts. So we have 200+ drives 36G, 70G
in stock, 50+ of 140G etc, just to be prepared.

Several mont, that hs ago, I wondered about what would happen if we had a
drive failure (4326). I was reassured that, despite the small size, that
replacements were available.
