I have had a Fujitsu SCSI 540 HD that has run flawlessly for about
3 years now. I bought it specifically because it had a 5 year warranty.
It is extremely quiet.  Just an occasional little burble as it 
recalibrates itself for temperature from time to time. Otherwise I forget 
it is one even though it is right next to me.

I was recently looking to add another HD.  Fujitsu does not seem to make 
these 540 meg SCSIs any more.  They only seem to offer a 1g SCSI fast.
Can anybody tell me if SCSI 2 and SCSI 2 Fast are compatible as far as 
as a SCSI 2 controller is concerned?

Has anybody got any experience with IBM hard disks?

I have long ago decided that any disk without a 5 year warranty is 
something I would prefer to avoid.  However, plain old SCSI 2 HDs with 5 
year warranties seem to be hard to come by, except Seagate which numerous 
people have told me to avoid.
