3B2 SCSI drives (was: First impressions: 3B2 120MB SCSI tape drive)

[Randy_Davis]

  Yes, AT&T is selling a few peripheral disk packages whose drives are
*embedded* SCSI, i.e. the 50-pin SCSI bus plugs directly into the drive.
Whether this on-board controller converts it to ESDI, then uses the old
disk controller architecture, I don't know.
  The disadvantage is that the new embedded drives use up a whole SCSI bus
ID, so instead of getting four disks per SCSI bus ID with the Emulex SCSI to
ESDI converter, you only get one.  If you are not planning to put more than
seven disks per SCSI bus, then no problem....
