Hello Managers,
This is actually a hardware question, but I am looking for an extra hard
drive for our DS20 running Tru64 4.0f. Our requirements are 36 GB and
at least 10,000 RPM. Our machine will also require an Ultra2 SCSI LVD
with 80-pins. Our Compaq reseller quoted us $2,300 a drive in a SBB
package. But this seems about three times more expensive than if we
were to buy a raw hard drive and put it in the SBB package ourselves.
I'm trying to find out what drives will work on our system, and what
we've always used are IBM DMVS-36M (IBM part number 34L7397).
Unfortnately, this seems to be an OEM part. Whenever I call Shop IBM,
the agents border on incompentency. Other hardware shops quote me for
Seagate Cheetah drives and don't seem to ever have IBM drives. I want
to know what drives will work on a DS20 with our specifications. We
won't be configuring it for RAID or anything fancy.
