PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The RZ26B disk drive has been shipping on VAXstation 4000 Models 60 and 90
but is now retired and no longer orderable. The RZ26L 1.05 Gbyte formatted
disk drive is the replacement product and is now supported on VAXstation
4000 Models 60 and 90.
The RZ26L one inch high SCSI disk is priced 15 percent lower than the RZ26B
and provides improved performance. This disk can be combined with an RZ26B
disk for internal storage requirements. Note that the RZ26L is not a direct
substitute for the RZ26B in all applications. The RZ26L cannot be placed
into an existing RZ26B stripe or shadow set. However, a new stripe or shadow
set can be created when all members are RZ26L disk drives.
For more information, please refer to the RZ26L drive article in the
December 20, 1993, issue of Customer Update.
