Keywords: Hardware Message-ID: <8396@brazos.Rice.edu> Date: 31 May 90 23:52:55 GMT Sender: root@rice.edu Organization: Sun-Spots Lines: 12 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu X-Refs: Original: v9n183 X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 9, Issue 195, message 2 We have a lot of SS1 and SS1+ with 3rd party hard disks (from 327M, 500M, 600M to 1 G) and all of them work fine. We tried Highland Digital and InterCad. Recently Mostel and some other company sent us price quotes and they are really cheap. I believe they use the same hard drive such as Imprimis, Hitachi etc. Check with them for pricing. 300M is around 2.3K, 600M is around 2.8 - 3.0K, 1.2G is about 4.5K. (You can get the phone numbers from Sun observer, Sun Tech Journal, etc.) We use 1/4" tape drive from Sun and we don't have any experience with 3rd parties. uunet!smosjc!lapyun
