I think I have a 1.1GB somewhere. Think the speeds are usually 3600 or 
4200 rpm, just like today's 2.5" IDE drives, and these old scsi drives 
are dirt cheap. It never occurred to me though to try much more than 
1000MB in a 170 or 180. They're sorta slow, so I figured the smaller 
the drive, the quicker the response, no?
