Hi, all. I am having an Ultrix cluster that consists of a 3200, and 2 2000's.
The 2000's are diskless, and at present the system has one RD54. I am
interested in purchasing some third party disks that are in the .5G to 1.2Giga
range, and the price in the 7K to 14K range. My problem is that though the
air-conditioning in the computer room is pretty stable, there is no special
equipment, and so I cannot have a disk that dissipates too much heat. I was
wondering if anyone has done a survey of the different disks offered. I would
be grateful if you could e-mail it to me. I'll post a summary, if anyone needs
it. My disk has to be in a seperate enclosure, and I'm really not sure if I
need another disk controller; I think I'm having a RQDX3 at the moment.
Thanks in advance,
-- Ravi.
