Any SCSI drive can be made to work, but if you want it to be plug and
play, get one that is configured for the NeXT. If you want to be able to
configure it yourself without much difficulty, get one that conforms to
SCSI rev. 17b or later and supports the mode sense command. If you want
one that will be very fast for a long time to come, get one that supports
tagged command queueing.
