Hello, 

We have one Apollo 400t (running Domain 10.3) and we need to purchase a
1 gigabyte external SCSI hard drive. I want to buy one from a 3rd party
but I've got some fear and doubt about not buying an HP product. When I
ask these people if their drives will work with the Apollo, they usually
reply with "Its a SCSI device, I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't".
This is not real comforting to me. 

Does anyone out there have any experience with 3rd party SCSI hard drive?
Any recommendations?


Thanks alot
