We did try some other disks out, in particular the 760 M Maxtor.

That is why there is a good chance your favorite disks work.

But there are more different disks than you can shake a stick at, and to
be sure
a disk really works right is more than a slight amount of work (realistically,
a first order evaluation takes man weeks per disk, and that isn't anywhere
close to a thourogh test).  And every time a manufacturer updates their
firmware,
you get to do it all over again.

Installation is an additional headache; when DEC says a disk is supported,
that implies a standard installation of a release of the operating system
will install without standing on your head.  As sizes of disks differ,
this has interesting consequences on the installation.

I believe there are plans in the works to help with this problem, but don't
know how much is public yet.
