We need to add another disk to our sun3/280. We think the easiest way is to add a scsi disk to it. We need one in the 1Gbyte range. What is a good, easy to install disk. There's been a lot of talk of the Fujitsu 1.2Gbyte drive. Any ideas? Also what kind of prices should we expect to pay in Canada (Toronto) for such drives. By the way we use sunOS 4.03 pasquale@sgl.ists.ca

We had been running an Emulex scsi controller which was talking to two Esdi drives. The SCSI cable had been extended out of the drive area when we had added the Optical drive. Now even with an Exabyte we have had no problems. The drive is fast and trustworthy. We have also placed one on a Decstation 3100 as a boot device. The Computer Science Department here likes them also. At my last job at Heurikon Corp. I brought in HP and we were very pleased with them. With 5 year warranty, they used to cost 3k in US, I have heard that they might be acquired for even less here now. Canada cost ???????
