I have a mono 25 MHz slab with a 200 MB drive and 20 MB
memory, and I am considering installing an external
hard drive.  The stockroom here has a Seagate ST 3283N
drive with about 244 MB of storage, so all told I'd end
up with 440 MB.  I'd like a bigger drive, but money is
an issue.  My questions are:

   o Is splitting storage between two drives a
     good thing to do?

   o Are there any known problems with this particular
     drive?  (Excessive noise, installation problems).

   o The data sheet says it has a "fast SCSI-2"
     interface.  Does that do me any good?

Thanks for your help.
