-> it's a wide scsi-2 drive... that's what the W is for. if it was UW, then
-> it would be ultra wide.

Not according to Seagate's web page.

http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/scsi/st39173w.html clearly
indicates the drive is an UltraSCSI drive.

http://www.seagate.com/support/kb/disc/discmodelinter.html#IATAPostDA
does not indicate that Seagate uses UW as a suffix to indicate interface
tape on ANY of their disk model numbers.  There is no way to tell from
the W on the end whether it is a fast/wide or ultra/wide drive.
