What is the biggest disk for a Ultra Enterprise 450?

I have an old E450 and was wondering if anybody has
successfully used drives larger that 146G in it. I
would like to buy some disks ASAP, but am not sure the
best ones to get.

The specs from Sun say the E450 has one, three, or
five 40-MB/sec, UltraSCSI-3 buses for internal disks.

The system currently has a SEAGATE-ST3146807LC 146G
drive in it and it seems to work fine.

I see there is a ST3300007LC 300G Ultra320 SCSI drive;
has anybody tried anything like it.

I am a bit confused by the SCSI nomenclature. Is
UltraSCSI-3 the same as Ultra320 SCSI or is one just
backward compatible with the other (I ask because the
Sun spec says 40-MB/sec bus and the Seagate drives
list 320MB/sec transfer rate.)

Thanks for your help and I will summarize responses I
get.

Regards,
Doug
