The Maxtor XT-4380S has the following specifications.  Hope this helps.

Capacity:
	Unformatted		384.46 Mbyte
	Formatted		337.58 Mbyte
	Bytes/sector		512
Seek time, average, msec.	 16
Average latency, msec.		  8.33
Disks				  8
Data surfaces			 15

Sorry, I don't have sectors/track or number of cylinders.  You could issue
SCSI Read Capacity and Mode Sense with Page Code 3 and 4 commands,
perhaps, to get all the gory details.
