Hi all 

I'm going to replace my internal SE/30 HD with a period correct (more or less) SCSI 50-pin HD.

I do not want more than 2GB on that hard drive. I know there's a way to "hide" partitions, it was probably explained over and over on this forum...

I need advice from you guys because I want to get the best HD for my bucks. I'm looking for something silent, fast and reliable. The ideal HD in other words  :p

Could you recommend a brand in particular?

I searched on eBay but they are all too expensive for me. I noticed this Computer store in Corvallis, Oregon. They have a LOT of new/reconditioned HDs, here's the link http://www.computerpartsgalore.com/drives-scsi.htm

The one in my SE/30 is a Fujitsu and I'm quite happy with it.

I've never heard horror stories about Fujitsus and Western Digitals. Maybe not a lot of people have those drives! They were not standard on any Macintosh.

Oh and I should probably get an SCSI2 drive. SCSI3 drives won't work will they?
