Just to add a few details to John's informative posting:

1) The 155 MB disk used on the DN3xxx/4xxx machines is the
   Micropolis 1355
2) There are three different kinds of 348 MB disks sold
   by Apollo as two different models: the 348 MB slow disk
   used in the DN3000, and the 348 MB FA (fast access) disk
   used in the DN4000 and 3500/4500. The slow disk is 
   frequently a Maxtor EXT-4380 disk. The fast access disk
    is either a Maxtor EXT-4380E or a Micropolis 1558. The
   Micropolis disk can apparently be configured to run as
   the slow disk in addition to the FA disk.

3) The 697 MB disk used with the WD7000 controller in the
   DN4000, DN3500/4500, and DN10000 is the Maxtor EXT-8760E
   disk.
4) For those who care, the 72 MB disks seem to be either
   Micropolis 1325 or Vertex V185 drives, according to the
   config info in the /systest/ssr_util/jumper program.
