I'm happy with my:
uriah /kernel: (ncr0:1:0): "SEAGATE ST32430N 0510" type 0 fixed SCSI 2
uriah /kernel: sd1(ncr0:1:0): Direct-Access
uriah /kernel: sd1(ncr0:1:0): FAST SCSI-2 100ns (10 Mb/sec) offset 8.
uriah /kernel: 2049MB (4197405 512 byte sectors)
This is one of the 1" height Hawk series. Alas, i think the Hawk is
no longer produced. No idea whether the new (even flatter) Medalist
is as reliable as the Hawks used to be. One thing i love with the
Hawks is that they remain really cool (which was important for the
situation in my machine's cabinet).
There's also an ST3655N in that box, but you can hardly even hear the
Hawk among the old disk and the noise of the power supply fan.
I know that there's much religion when it comes to the choice of a
disk, and in particular when it comes to Seacrate. However, Robert
has been asking for experiences, and that's just mine. Please,
redirect any discussion about ``My Quantum is longer than your
Seacrate'' to /dev/null.
