125Meg if your calculation based on 1024K/meg or
130Meg if your calculation based on 1000K/meg. 

if you have a user defined parameter (i.e. AMI type 47)
use: 
    cyl    heads    sectors/track     formated bytes
   1001      15         17                   130.7   (based on 1M=1000000bytes).
   1024      14          17                  124.7   (based on 1M=1000000bytes).

Information is taken from SEAGATE manual.
