Yes, there are only SCSI interfaces inside the Alpha Multia.
There has been a 340MB SCSI 2,5" drive as an option in some models.
I agree about the external disks, but if attaching a long cable (e.g. 10ft) and putting
the disk box under the table can improve the looks. :)
Unfortunately the Multia was way too early for the customers. Nobody seemed to understand
the the point with a minimal design.
A few years later it would have been a real success.

Doesn't it require a SCSI disk, though? 2.5" SCSI disks are unobtanium
these days. And the Multia is such a cute little box - using it with
external drives ruins the whole effect.
I have a couple of UDBs/Multias too and way back when being able to run
"all three" operating systems (Windows, Unix and VMS) on the same hardware
was pretty amazing.
