I believe that it uses the WD1010.

I don't know about the step rate, but I have installed a number of
external drives with varied specs. It will swallow just about anything
that is ST506 up to 86 MB. You may only get 50-60 MB of usable surface
on the large drives though. The Wren and Wren II drives work quite nicely
with it
