For $115/ea I got two 36 Gig HDs for my Ultras (alas, 1.6" tall, so not
suitable for the SS/5 you have without mangling/contriving an altenrate
mounting bracket)...

When I put them in my Ultra, I found they identified themselves as
"Sun36.4G" - these were Sun drives, but someone had wiped the label off...

A great deal, IMHO.
