I posted a request 3 weeks ago concerning purchasing some disks. The
message was something like:
System: Running SunOS 4.1.1 on 4/380 server.
We have $6-7000 to spend and what would be the
best bargain to increase our disk space?
We have some Wren V's and Wren VII's already.
It looks like we are buying 3 (yes, over spending a bit) Fujitsu
M2266 1.2GB SCSI drives from Bay State Computer Group, INC (a local
company)
I want to thank everyone for there assistance and input into this
matter. I received a lot of responses, and appended to this message
you will find the quick proposal I created for my boss outlining
the various disks and companies who I became aware of.
Again, thank you all.

Bay State Computer Group, INC (Boston MA)
1.2GB Fujitsu 2263SA
approx $2350 including enclosure with power (not sure if needed),
cabling.
24 hour swapout for a 5-year warranty.
** This is my choice. They came highly recommended from William
Stewart over at buenga. The fact they are local, the Fuji has
a 5 year warranty, and that it is a 24 hour turnaround all point
to a good deal. Plus, with more than one department dealing with
them, I believe they are going to be more friendly and cooperative.
1.2GB Seagate Wren VII
approx $2450 including cabling
24 hour swapout for 1-year warranty
