We need to add an additional hard drive to our 3B2 CMS system. AT&T has
told us we need to purchase an external disk controller which will 
master four drives, and of course the drive itself. 

The 3B2 has what is labeled as a SCSI host adapter. Can someone please 
enlighten me as to why we need both the external controller and a drive.

Also is there any other less expensive alternatives in the form of other
vendors hardware which will do the job. 

Thanks in advance.
