Pretty much any wide SCSI-3 (68-pin) drive will work great! I'm using 9 GB IBM SCA drives (model DDRS-39130) w/ SCA to Wide SCSI adapters. I got these drives off of eBay for $19.95 each. The adapters were also $19.95 each, but $40 for a 9 GB SCSI drive is great. I've also used Compaq 4.3 GB Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 drives (actually a Fujitsu MAB3045SP) and those worked great, too. Also, even though HP does not support using the EIDE interface for hard drives, it works just like any other computer, so if you want a big drive that's cheap, and you don't care as much about speed, just get a big 80/100 GB EIDE/ATA drive.
