I've been looking for a list of the various hard drive units available
for the PDP-11 and their capacites, but have not been able to find one
online. Can anybody help me out here? 
Reason is your asking too broad a question.

PDP-11 was a series of CPUs/systems that used at least 4 busses and 
an even greater array of storage facilities over the period from 1970
to current(yes current!).  So to even start answering the question. 

What cpu or bus?  Or what time period?  Fixed or removable? 
   And factory and/or 3rd party drives. If you want to include 3rd party it
would take a book to list them all!

I also forgot to ask what OS as tere wer device limits on some such as 
exists with RT-11 (32mb per logical device). And what generation of OS
such as Unix V6 (no mscp).
