Are they not just regular SCSI or ATA drives (depending on chassis)? I
have a prehistoric SPARCstation which I am sure I just dropped a
regular SCSI disk into and an ULTRA 5 which I definitely upgraded with
an ATA HDD from my wifes old PC. But I admit that I don't know much
beyond that about SUN (or should that be Oracle) hardware.
