My best thoughts? Get an ST251-1 if you can. It's 40mb (vs. 20 on
the ST225). It's 28ms (vs. 65 on the ST225). Finally, you can get
it mail order for as low as $229 (vs. $179(?) for the ST225).
You would probably have to partition the ST251 into two logical drives
(unless you get DOS 4.01).
Steve K.
P.S. The ST251-1 has self-parking heads vs. the "you better park
them manually" heads on the ST225.
