disk controller question

Hi,

I don't have much expertise on unix admin, but am learning with an
alphaserver 2100A, 4/275 running Tru64 5.0A.

Currently there is only 2 disks in the internal storage rack, I think they
are RZ91 or similar with only around 2gb capacity.

I have a couple of questions on increasing capacity ;

Do I need to use these expensive yet small capacity RZxx disks or can I get
another scsi option which is cheaper/higher capacity ?

If so do I need to connect via another scsi connect ( I presume the rack of
8 slots is dedicated to these DEC disks ?)

How compatible is Tru64 in terms of NFS mounting another network drive on
say Linux or Windows - does this work and is it a plausible method to
achieve a bit more space ?

Any help appreciated as Im out of space and need to put Oracle on this
painfully slow machine ...

Also If anyone knows anywhere in Belgium or the UK where I can get cheap
memory/disk upgrades for this box Id be keen to get the details.

Thanks for any help,

Stephen.
