The //c+ uses a Smartport for disk interfacing.  The //c+ can use 5.25"
drives (almost any Apple //-compatible brand), Apple 3.5" drives and Apple
3.5" Unidisk Drives.

Chinook once made hard drives (models 20c and 40c) that used the
Smartport protocol, which allowed //c's to use them.  Then Sequential
Systems bought out Chinook, and no one is sure if they still market the
//c-compatible hard drives.  Does anyone in netland know for sure if
Sequential still makes or sells these drives?

You might be able to find one used, though. You never know.
