	I am looking at buying some Hitachi DK815 winchester disk drives
to use on  Sun 3/180,280 disk servers. The Hitachi is a 1050 megabyte
drive (unformatted) that is about the same physical size as a 2361 supereagle.
It will work on the Xylogics 451 controller. The reason I like the
Hitachi is that I am getting it for around $10 a megabyte, while the
2361 is about $14. Has anyone had any experience with the drive
good or bad? I am told it has been shipping in the states for about
7 months, Japan for about a year.
