Yes, but make sure they're drives designed and manufactured by CDC/Imprimis.
Drives actually designed by Seagate (e.g. st296n) aren't worth their shipping
costs.  I currently own an ST1126A (100 MB, IDE) which is very fast, very
quiet, very reliable, and very unlike any ST225, ST251, ST296N, etc. drive.

DISCLAIMER:  This is my own personal opinion based solely on personal 
             experience with a half dozen different seagate drives.  
             Your milage may vary.--
