Hi,

	Wow, I great turn around to my question (almost a response per
minute). First off thanks to the following people for the suggestions: 

Stuart A. Cohnen
Adam Fritzler
Dr. Alan Rollow 
Paul Southworth     
Jason Henry Parker  
Don Summers
Phil Tait           
Mick Kappler     

	Okay, so far basicly all of the major name brand drives were
recomened. For the record they were:

DEC (I was staying away due to sticker shock)
Fujitsu
IBM
Imprimis
Quantum 
Seagate
Western Digital's Enterprise line

	Two specific models were mentioned as working. They are the:

4GB Seagate Barracuda
	
	And the:

Quantum Fireball 6.4GB SCSI

	Now another response warned me away from quantum drives. I sort of
agree as under Digital Unix I've had a simple file operation (rm) being
run on a file on a quantum drive panic the kernel. Maybe me. Another
reader recommended sticking with drives that run at 5400rpm insted of
7200 due to heat considerations. Also I was informed that due to the built
in scsi controllers there is no fast or wide scsi support so stay clear of
those drives.

	Finally it seems that even at version 4.5 Ultrix still has a 2gb
partition limit. Not killer but still something to keep in mind. Thanks
again the suggestions and the detailed tips.
