The good folks who make the Dataframe have used at various times the
Seagate drive (ST225 I believe), the MicroScience (which is what their
using mostly right now), and the LaPine (and perhaps one more).  I
believe that Apple is using the MicroScience, but I can't back that up.

It is my understanding that Apple decided to NOT support file tags with
the SCSI drive just released.  I don't have any word on whether or not
Apple has any plans on putting them in any future hard drives.

From what I understand, file tags happen on the format level, so that
any drive could support file tags, merely be being formatted for them.
