Easy.  Ask for the Imprimis 94241-502.  It's a Wren VI class half height
mechanism.  Average seek time of 15 ms and should format on the ST to
something like ~425 MB.  Transfer rate is something like 14-22 Mbit/sec.
There is a pared-down version which formats to ~300MB but has a transfer
rate of 18-22 Mbit/sec.  It's an imbedded SCSI mechanism.  These puppies
just absolutely scream.  I have the Wren V half height on my ST and it
cranks 975 K/sec and 18 ms under RATEHD.  The Wren VI's are faster.  Much
faster.  Whew!

(Sorry for the inexactness.  I don't have the spec sheets handy and I don't
remember them exactly offhand.)

By the way, getting a big tax refund is a bad idea.  Ideally, you should pay
Uncle Sam at tax time.  No so much that you have to pay additional interest,
of course.
