System:     SunOS 4.1.1 with 4 SparcStation 2's, an SLC and a 
	    Sun 4/380 as console.

Spending:   Willing to spend between $6,000 - 7000.

Questions:  We are in need of more disk space.  We have two Seagate
	    Wren V's now, and some smaller seagate drives.  What would
            be the gurus' choices if they were in the same position?

	    I am looking at a strong posibility of Wren VII's and to be
	    honest, I am completely new to hardware.  I am taking over
	    Sys. Adm. job of a graduating senior, and would like to do
	    as much of this as possible without his assistance as he will
  	    be gone soon.  

 	    Please provide both quotes, manufactures, and any other info
	    with your description.  I will post a summary of responses 
	    when I have made my decision.

Extra:	    Also, if anyone has good ideas on what magazines or the like
	    which would be very beneficial to my learning about the current
	    hardware situation in compu-land, I would greatly appreciate it.


Thank you for your time.

JC
