We have an application for archival storage of a reasonably large volume
(greater than 10 Gbytes) of data obtained while monitoring a chemical
pilot plant.  Currently this data is stored on tape; managing this is
getting to be too much of a chore.  The data is recorded, processed and
then archived. It is only used again when doing checks on
reproducibility and/or troubleshooting of the properties of materials
made in each batch.  The data can be broken up into "chunks" of less
than 300 MB to simplify data organization.    

Can anyone recommend a WORM data storage system (drive (s), Unibus
interface and software for VMS), preferably using a 5.25 or 8 inch disk
format,  which could be used in this application?

Any leads will be appreciated.
