I just received two new Seagate 157N's from different 'runs' and they
are both formatted 1:1 and run fine at 550Kps and 35ms.  ICD's rating
program is very accurate and reliable test in my opinion.  So far its
helped diagnois at least one person's bad sector problem on an otherwise
perfect drive!  I wouldn't just request Rom7's, I would DEMAND them.
There is no reason you should have to accept a slower drive, not at 
the $400+ dollars you are paying for the drive.  If I get a drive
that is the least bit noisy I will send it back and keep sending it
back until I get one I like, they only have to push the things out the
door, we have to use them for the next five years!
