Looking for recommendation on Third party disk drives

[Tony Tran]

I am planning to buy 4 extra disk drives with about 600-700 MB (formatted)
capacity for our 4 SUN servers real soon.

Can anybody advise on the choice of vendor in my area (the Bay area)?  Any
comments on Helios systems, BoxHill(Maintech) or System Industries ?

Here is the configuration of the 4 servers:

    Type:	 Op. Sys   Disk type:

    SUN 3/160	 3.4	 2 Regular Eagles (M2351)  Xylogic 451 controller
    SUN 3/180 	 3.4	 1 Super Eagle (M2361)		-same-
    SUN 3/160	 3.4 	 1 Super Eagle (M2361)		-same-
    SUN 3/280	 4.0	 1 Hitachi DK815		

Since the first one has 2 Eagles, I was told to purchase additional
controller (possibly Xylogic 753) for it to support the third drive.

Is there any compatibility problem if I add 4 Super Eagles M2372 to the
above configuration, one to each server? Any problem mixing the Fujitsu
disk drive with the existing Hitachi DK 815? Any problem with the disk
driver running SUN OS 4.0?

Any comments or suggestion would be appreciated.

  Thank you
  Tony Tran
