I am thinking of adding a larger drive to a NeXT computer which is
currently equiped with a 40 MB `accelerator' drive. I do not have a
clear idea of what capacity I should go for (170 MB, 330MB ??) for a
standalone machine used mainly for development work. Does anyone have 
experience with 170 MB drives or is 330 MB sort of the minimal satisfactory
configuration? 

Also, since the price factor is pretty important for me, I would like
some input on cheap sources for SCSI internal drives (if they are known
to work with the NeXT, it would even be better :)

Thanks ahead of time for any information you might have to share. A
summary will follow shortly.
