Hello, We are currently looking into the purchase of a local disk for one of our diskless 3/50s. We would like to get 300 to 500 meg or so. Does anyone have any recommendation of a good third party drive in this size range (or horror stories about one we should NOT get)? Another,related, question: The project for which we are buying this disk is temporary. We would like, if possible, to be able to attach the disk to a server (probably a 3/160) after completion of the project. Can a disk made for the external SCSI connector on a 3/50 be connected to the internal connector of the 3/160 (sun claims not) and if not, why? It would probably be best to send recommendations to me directly. I'll post a list to sun-spots if the interest warrents. Thanks in advance for your help.
