According to the Fujitsu data sheet, positioning time is 4ms
minimum, 14.5ms average, and 30ms maximum.

As far as formatting, I took the drive, set the DIP switches,
plugged it in, and the NeXT did the rest.  After about 10-15 minutes,
I had a 1087678-kByte single partition.

The drive is a little noisy, but it is big and fast.  I recommend it
highly, although I've heard the 3-1/2 inch 512-Mbyte Fujitsu's are
even better (but higher $/MB).
