I recently bought a WD286 based AT clone from SAI which I am
very happy with so far.  However, I noticed the hard drive was
factory labelled as an ST251.  Since I paid extra to get the
28 ms ST251-1, I want to be sure SAI did not make a mistake 
by installing the 40 ms ST251.  I thus have two questions:

	1) Does Seagate omit the suffix digit when labelling
	   their drives?
	
	2) Are there any good benchmark utilities I can run
	   to assess the average access time?
	
Thanks in advance.
