you can use 1" and 1.6" drives (height) inside a sparc10.  you can't
use `full height' in the sense of 5.25" full height drives (obviously)

what craig said - so far i've found ibm drives have been the quietest and
i'd recommend them for desktops or other machines you have to sit in front
of or next to for a while..

for this i'd say YMMV - i don't mind quantum, seagate and others - my
experiences with them are mixed.
