Message-ID: <18428@uflorida.cis.ufl.EDU> Date: 29 Sep 88 00:10:03 GMT Sender: news@uflorida.cis.ufl.EDU Reply-To: sld@beach.cis.ufl.edu () Organization: UF CIS Department Lines: 41 I need some help! I just bought a Seagate ST 251-1 40MB 28ns drive by mail order but while I paid the 251-1 price I'm not convinced that I got a 251-1. The problem for me is that there is another Seagate drive of the same capacity and nearly the same model number, namely the "ST 251" with 40ns access time. The side of the drive that I received is labeled "ST 251" and the top is labeled "ST 251 MLC-1". Now, is the designation ST 251-1 a contraction for ST 251 MLC-1 or not? If it helps make a determination, here's the diagnostic info that was provided with the drive: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATA DATA PARK STEP HEADS CYLS CYL PULSE RANGE 0-5 0-819 820 3-200US -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEP NOM LOW HIGH 3MS 3MS 3MS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OUTSIDE MARGIN HEAD 0 HEAD 1 HEAD 2 HEAD 3 HEAD 4 HEAD 5 36NS 36NS 38NS 36NS 34NS 36NS LATE 36NS 36NS 40NS 36NS 36NS 36NS EARLY 72NS 72NS 78NS 72NS 70NS 72NS TOTAL INSIDE MARGIN HEAD 0 HEAD 1 HEAD 2 HEAD 3 HEAD 4 HEAD 5 34NS 34NS 36NS 32NS 34NS 34NS LATE 32NS 34NS 34NS 30NS 32NS 34NS EARLY 66NS 68NS 70NS 62NS 66NS 68NS TOTAL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Steven L.
