The M2322K and family are indeed standard 8" form factor drives.
They're not called "Eagles" though, as far as I'm aware. I really
like those drives. Take an M2322K (or the larger M2372K/M2382K
models), stick it on an Emulex QD32 or QD33 controller, stick it in a
QBUS VAX...Nice! :-)
An interesting note...The HDA of an Eagle or Super Eagle drive is a
big aluminum casting that, to me, very much resembles the engine of a
Volkswagen. ;)

Huh?
14" and 8" Eagles? Every Eagle I've ever seen has been a 10"
platter drive. Are there Eagles other than the M2351 and M2361?
Hmm. The Eagles
may be 10". I 've not seen that much of the big Eagles
from inside and I never measured them. (Sorry. I am an european and I am
not that used to that wired inch measurement. ;-) ) For the 8" drives:
I know very well that they exist and that they are 8". AFAIK they are
called Eagle too or Super Eagle. M-number? Hmm? M2223K? M2322K?
