Use anything you like, but pick something which is quiet and doesn't
produce too much heat. I prefer IBM's SCSI drives because they satisfy both
of those requirements for my purposes, but Seagate are making some very good
drives at the moment.

I will not use Quantum drives under any circumstances due to previous
failures of almost new drives which resulted in successive under-warranty
replacements, but that's purely a personal decision.

Regards,

Craig.
