there are two versions of the st251 -- one has 40ms access time,
the other has 28ms access time.

how does seagate do this?  the 28ms version (mlc-1 marked on drive)
does indeed show an access time of 28ms when run through various
disk test programs.  but!  its track to track seek time seems to 
be much slower than other 28ms drives.  

the st251 seems much slower than other 28ms drives that i've used.
any clues, folks?  perhaps it has a slower data transfer time, too.
