It was actually James1095 who recommended the 2.5" Seagate Savvio drives. I jumped hard on his recommendation, snagging a batch for myself and uni snagged the batch I'd been watching as backup plan if I didn't win the first auction. With much help from the gang, especially our resident SCSI Voodoo Priest, we got them up and running reliably. I was glad to hear that uni got another batch and is still helping other comrades out with this project.

That said, don't give up on your U320 drive quite yet. Get yourself an internal passthru terminator for testing it, you'll need one to properly configure whatever drive you wind up using anyway. I'd also suggest holding out for a 2.5" drive so you'll have elbow room for the terminator and airspace around the drive. uni was successfully using external terminators/terminated external peripherals as a workaround, but I think it's best to do it according to SCSI spec. Put your termination at the end of the internal chain on the boot drive . . .

. . . that was just about the only thing Apple got right about their SCSI implementations in the 68k era. ::)
