Hi to all...

I've seeking the archives but haven't come to a conclusion.

I have this old 2100 with 4 190Mhz processors.
It's almost impossible to do an upgrade, since the price is near the price
of a new machine.

Even so, I need some extra HD space, since the 2100 have a SW bay and the
server has a 3 chan. RAID card.

The point is that I want to spend the less money I can, and buying HD
drives from Digital is twice the price they really are.

The question is:
* Is it possible to buy RZ compatible HD? Wich brands/models?
* Is it possible to have a reliable set of carriers/disks that aren't
bought from DEC? Wich brands/models?
* Anyone have experience that want to share?

I think this is a point that some people would like to know, so I will do a
SUMM...

Thanks in advance,
                                Joao Rochate
