I went to PC shops and bought empty external firewire/usb2 cases and
somewhere else 120 Go IDE hard drives (seagate ST3120026...) and that
works perfectly on my blade 100 + solaris 9 with the exception that
USB 1 is really slow. I currently have 2 brands of external cases,
each bought in low cost PC shops and they both work.
You need to put a disklabel using format before doing the newfs to
install the filesystems. But that is a piece of cake...
