What is the deal!
One mail order place says this drive has 14.5ms access times, and
another says 11.5ms.

Which is it? 

Also, how difficult is it to format etc?

Anybody have any other recommendations on Gig drives?

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).
