Yes. But beware of RA8x drives. They are very unreliable. Unfortunately
I don't own any SDI stuff.
The next unmentioned solution is a SMD adapter. An Emulex QD3[234] and
any SMD disk will be a fine solution. Unfortunately the very common 8"
Fujitsu drives need at least one reformat per year. I have two 9" NEC
disks, 940MB each. A very fine storage subsystem. And with a bit luck
you can find one of the rare 5.25" SMD disks.
Or a KFQSA and a DSSI disk...
