AnDataCo has been very responsive to our needs, and have had good prices (we get educational pricing, too). For example, the other day, we had a disk drive die from hyperthermia, and, of course, it was a _critical_ drive, so we ordered an emergency replacement through AnDataco with the proviso that it be delivered as soon as possible. We received it within 36 hours. I wouldn't hesitate to order an EXABYTE from them, if we needed another (we have three). They seem to value customer satisfaction. Connecting an EXABYTE to a SPARC should be no problem, also. We've connected ours to a 3/50, and a 3/260. Disclaimer: I have no connection with AndataCo, except as a satisfied customer.
