I have the Fujitsu 415M (unformatted) drive, although it isn't hooked up to
my NeXTstation yet (lack o' SCSI 2 cable).  It was plugged into a NeXTcube
and it just kinda said 'this drive is unformatted, do you wish to format it?'
and poof, it's formatted.

Best is relative.  The Fujitsu I have is 16ms, the same as the internal disk.
