[comp.sys.hp] Third party SCSI disks and HP 400's

  Hello Fellow Netlanders,

  I have a question about which SCSI drive will be best suited for use
  on an HP 9000/400t.  I've been dealing with a company in California
  called Acropolis, they resell quite a few different varieties of disks.
  I have currently 3 choices (all though if you have better ones I'm
  willing to change) the problem that I see is that I've only heard of
  one running on an HP, and I'm not sure that it was a 9000/400.

  I'd like to hear from people who have experience ( or not ) with
  any of these drives on an HP 9000/400t.  They are:

		Fujitsu 1.2 GigaByte (Sorry I only know the Acropolis part
							  number, it is ASI-4-1035-Q150)
		
		Mycropolis 1.2 GigaByte  Model #1598

		Wren VII 1.2 GigaByte

  My price on the Fujitsu and Mycropolis drive is $2695
  My price on the Wren VII is $2795 all disks come with a 5 year 
  warranty.

  My experience with the Fujitsu and Wren drives (Smaller than these)
  on some Sun Sparcs have been very good.  So I'm leaning toward
  the Fujitsu (Price mostly) but am concerned about having it work on
  the HP 9000/400t.

  Thanks in advance,
  Curt

  P.S.  If anyone has a good disktab entry for any of the above
		drives, could you please pass it along to me?
