Is a 4GB disk drive better than a 9GB drive?

Hi there,

I need to decide between buying a 4 GB 7200 RMP Ultra Wide SCSI disk drive
and a 9 GB 7200 RMP Ultra Wide SCSI disk drive for an Alpha 433au Worsktation.

Besides the obvious advantage of the 9 GB drive in storage space, is it
significantly slower and less reliable than the 4 GB drive? What are the
advantages of going with the 4 GB drive?

Grateful for any advice and gotcha's on this,
