Message-ID: <9664@linus.UUCP> Date: Thu, 23-Jul-87 15:41:48 EDT Article-I.D.: linus.9664 Posted: Thu Jul 23 15:41:48 1987 Date-Received: Sat, 25-Jul-87 07:53:39 EDT Reply-To: sid@linus.UUCP (Sid Stuart) Distribution: na Organization: The MITRE Corporation, Bedford MA Lines: 11 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. sid@linus
