I know this kind of question would have seemed silly a couple years ago,
but does this limit apply to DUNIX in general? I ask because I'm in the
process of purchasing some 18 GB 3.5" drives now, and I'm hearing from
vendors that the next Elite drive from Seagate will have twice the
capacity as the previous version (46 GB vs 23 GB). Does this mean I may
have trouble getting DUNIX to work with these drives?
