   For memory I don't know... But for Drives....

   I have been playing around with several ST1600N drives from Seagate. They
work great in a 2500, I have had upto 4 of them connected to my machine and
could operate nicely. Problems I did find were mostly AmigaDOS related, and
were'nt problems as much as "how do I deal with this?"

  ie: When you have 4 drives that format out to 1.4 Gig and you partition
them in 100 MG increments, how long does it take you to mount all of them.

  or better yet: Where did I leave my source??? Oh, yeah disk2, partition 6,
sub-directory, 14-42-523. Simple... 

IMHO Seagate has a very decent drive. But, don't get the out of form factor
version. I had a whale of a time trying to get that one to be recognized by
the 2091.
