Restriction?  Did I miss something?  Maybe Sun recommends that for some
kind of performance reason, but I've got a 3/280 here running 4.0 that
came with an 892 meg Hitachi on a 451 (gak!), and I later added a 380 meg
Eagle with few problems other than scrounging up the cables.  What *I'd*
like to know is why Sun only supports putting 2 drives on a controller
that can handle 4.  Our old 2/120's certainly have connectors on the back
for 4 drives off of one controller.
