Just about any SCA SE drives will do. Typically, SGI used 9GB, 18GB, 36GB and
72GB drives. But Onyx2's are not "particular". SGI mostly oemed Quantum and
IBM drives - but again, that's not a requirement.
I recently acquired, restored and upgraded a nice Onyx2 Deskside with (2) Dual
400MHz nodes (4 CPUs) w/8MB cache, 1GB RAM, InfiniteReality2E Graphics, (2)
RM9s, a DG5-8 and DIVO video. Not too shabby for a 10 year old system ;-)
I used Quantum and IBM 18GB drives...
Cheers,
Lyle
