When we were low on disk space on our SUN 3/50 we simply purchased one
more of the same disk that was checked on the back of the disk shoebox.
(A Maxstor 1355 ,I recall.  We purchased it from a PC shop, not SUN.)
We connected it to the second port on the SCSI to ESDI controller,
formatted it, and it worked like a charm! Cost...

	Disk						$1400
	IBM PC external disk cabinet & power supply	  $99
	IBM PC disk cables				   $8.95

Using higher math, you can see that this is somewhat better 
than the $6000 SUN list price.
