Has anyone seen the 1.2GB or 1.7GB HP SCSI drives? I would like to know
their dimensions and speed.
The reason I want to know their dimensions is to see one can can hook
these drives onto a SS1+ in an *office* environment. It'll be great if
one can fit 2 of these drives into a pizzabox-sized chassis so that I can
stack the chassis on top of a SS1+, hence saving desk space.
I also hope that they don't take too much power though since there are a
limited number of sockets in an office (it'll be nice if 2 drives can
share a power-supply inside the chassis).
With regard to speed, are these drives fast enough to turn a SS1+ into a
small fileserver - serving about a dozen nodes? I hope that they are
comparable to the Sabre's using the Xylogics 7053 controller.
And finally, I wonder if SunOS 4.1 capable of newfs(8) very large
filesystems -- by very large, I mean filesystems of size over 1 GB.
Any pointers/info much appreciated.
