  ...i'm in the market for some disk drives for my apollo 
   workstations (dn4000 and dsp10000) and wanted some advice.
   i have about 11.5K to work with and am in serious need
   for some more diskspace.  the 4000s have 150Mb drives
   while the 10000 has 358Mb drives.

   i understand that if i want to use a 600Mb drive i need
   the new controllers.  which means more money.

   any ideas on the best way to spend my money.  what about
   3rd party alternatives.  any good/bad experiences? also,
   how does maintenance work? will apollo cover it? are there
   "lifetime" warranties (ie with emc memory)

 thanks
