We're in the market for a 1+GB SCSI disk and an Exabyte 8200. So far we have quotes on the Fujitsu M2266, the WREN VII, and HP (I don't have the model number at hand.) Any notable observations on these or other drives would be appreciated. For example, we found the M2263 annoyingly noisy for a desktop environtment. I've also heard rumors of compatibility problems: this subsystem could well end up on a DECstation, a Sparc, or a Snake. We are also looking for sources that have good (university) pricing and have currently talked with NPI(IL), R^2(CO), and Datalink(IL).
