Seagate ST51080N as NT boot disk?

[A. Suleiman]

I appreciate every bit of help on this ... I have to purchase 20 1GB
drives and have little time for testing several models so I am going by
reputation, prices and availability to reduce my list of drives to try.

Using an ADAPTEC AHA-2940, has anyone installed NT 3.51 to a Seagate
ST51080N drive?

Can the whole disk be one contiguous NTFS partition (due to the 1024 cyl.
limit.)

GigaThanks

BTW Is there a formula to determine the cyl. count resulting from sector
translation by Adaptec cards?

Well, this drive is in the officially tested Hardware compatibility list.
I use it as a second SCSI-Drive with FAT partitioned, no probs.
NTFS supports much larger PArtitions, and a cylinder limit- Hey it's
SCSI!
But by performance, the Quantum Fireball is faster... I wanted to buy it,
but it was sold out, so I took the Seagate.
Not bad, but not thaaat outstanding Performance, but stable.
I use it as a removable drive via a changing frame to transfer Data to
friends, and that worked well.
