A Cube or any NeXT system will be happy with almost any SCSI hard drive you can find. NS 3.3 though limits you to 2gb per partition on the disk.

Hi!
Have an original 661 MB cube drive with openstep 4.2 in working condition.
But it´s located in Berlin, Germany, Europe.

Be careful, some SCSI drives don't play too well, particularly IBM drives, same with Fujitsu, I've never got them to work they come up with a lot of bus errors. Narrow Seagates usually work very well, I think I have a 'cuda 18XL in my cube. I have a 9gb Medalist Pro in my slab that works fine, though I think I had to make a disktab for it.
If you want minimal aggravation then a Hawk/Cuda 4LP will work out of the box, beware Apple firmware Seagate drives are not recognized correctly and you'll have to make a disktab. I'd avoid a Cheetah 4LP as they get a bit hot and are no faster in a cube than a Hawk.

Thanks wil lookout for the Narrow Seagates or one someone already has installed the software on it.
