Summary: Adaptec for a Seagate ST225?



Part of a response to a query about faster hard disks for an XT discusses
[Dinterleave factors, and incidently talks about using an Adaptec RLL
controller with a Seagate ST225.  Everything I've about RLL controllers
recently suggests that non-plated media HD's such as the ST225 don't
work reliably over the long haul with Adaptec RLL controllers.  Am I
missing something; or does this sometimes work out in practice.  I know
this is not a response to the faster hard disk question, but I am cur-
ious.
