There may have been more at the show, but the best IBM could come up with for the first day of UniForum was an increase in the size of the disk drives that comes with the RS/6000 Model 320 workstations nad servers to 160Mb from 120Mb; it also added the 160Mb Direct Attached Disk Drive and the 160Mb to 320Mb SCSI Disk Select feature on the Model 320, now. The company points out that 160Mb disk – which has 30% better seek time at 16mS, 18% faster data transfer rate at 1.5Mbytes-per-second, is still too small to use the 320 machine as a stand-alone workstation.The 160Mb disk comes with the machine, 160Mb to 320Mb SCSI Disk Select is $3,000; the 160Mb direct attached disk is $1,950, now.
