	I get the impression that you don't use your XT for any heavy duty
stuff.  With that in mind, I would heartily recommend the Seagate
ST225  20 Meg drive.  The performance is marginal, but it is probably
the least expensive drive available, and it is a real workhorse.  I
have had mine for over a year and I have NO bad sectors!  I attribute
this to parking the drive head before power down.  If you have the
ram, you can boost its performance with a disk cache also.  Its
nothing flashy, but it does everything it is supposed to do.
