avoid the seagate 20M/30M and st251.  their performance specs
are a bunch of crap.  the 251-1s are not true 28ms drives.
if you don't care about access time, then check this:

the 251s are known to refuse to spin up on alternate thursdays.  (randomly).
a quick rap with a hammer usually fixes the problem!  do you want to
trust your data to seagate?  NO!
