The ST42100N (Fast_SCSI2) specs sound preatty normal to me, so I do not see
why it "is not recommanded for Macs". It has a true 10MB transfer rate. 
Of cause you cant take advantage of this unless you buy a Fast-SCSI card.
The internal Fast_SCSI connectors of some newer macs may work, but IMHO the
58W max. power draw at startup is to much for the power supplies.
