[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Large hard drive and tape backup recommendations.

kburns@ogccse.ogc.edu (Ken Burns) (11/17/89)

  We have a H-P Vectra QS/16 (386) that we are going to upgrade to be 
  able to run PC ANSYS.  This means more memory, a large hard disk, and 
  probably a tape backup unit.

  The CompuAdd catalog has what seems to be real good prices on a
  MiniScribe and CDC 320Mbyte ESDI hard drives.  Any comments or 
  opinions on which of these drives is better?  Recommendations on
  other drives and ESDI controllers to go with it would also be 
  welcome.

  I would also like recommendations on external tape backup units.
  Will they run off of the serial port so I can move it between 
  different machines without having to buy an interface card for each
  machine?

  Naturally price will be a major factor in our decision.  The best 
  quality available at the low end of the price range for these items
  is probably what we are looking at.
