Yeah. You also need a narrow interface. I'd recommend a 5400 RPM
drive over a 7200 for that case. Other than that, it's no big deal
what you get, really. I use Seagate Hawks in my Classics and LXs,
and I'm pretty happy with them.

Actually, it should make no difference whatsoever (assuming you're
running a version of Solaris that still supports the LX). A SCSI
drive is a SCSI drive, really....
