Does anyone have any disk recommendations for a VAX 8600 ??
We'll put the drives on a Massbus controller, probably with
an Emulex controller.  We're running 4.3 BSD.

History - we currently have 4 Fujitsu Eagles on an Emulex SC780
on a 785 and love them.  *No* problems whatsoever in 4 years.
(Don't ask me about our experience with RA81's.)
However, rather than just buying another SC780 and more Eagles,
I figured the technology must have improved since we bought the
Eagles 4 years ago.  We'd be interested in something faster,
smaller and larger capacity per spindle.  Please note that
*reliability* is our first criteria (I'm tired of restoring
filesystems onto RA81s after HDA replacements).
