i don't know there name, but call 888-669-6509, they have excellent prices.
please e-mail me if you find any other places with good deals...

>From anders@hmi.de
Disk drives can usually be from any reliable (even PC) distributor
with SCSI experience -- no Sun specific things here. Be sure to get
disks with high MTBF specs from well-known manufacturers (Seagate, IBM,
...).

>From Franczyk, Gary [gfranczyk@carbomedics.com]
Sun disk drives are just Seagate Barracudas...
Buy a seagate.

Original Question:
Can any body provide me name/URL of reliable vendors (other than Sun) who
sell 4GB new/used Sun disk drives, please? Thank you.
Platform: Sparc-20, 4.1.3.
