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.
