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.
