Can someone please tell me how many cylinders, tracks per cylinder and sectors per cylinder an ST-251 hard disk has? Thank you in advance, /ken Kenneth Suh PATH: suh@WATSUN.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU Columbia University P.O. ..!rutgers!columbia!watsun!suh P.O. Box 250039 New York, NY 10025

The Seagate ST-251 (a very picked-on drive with which I have had zero problems) has 820 cylinders, 6 heads (tracks/cylinder) and 17 sectors/track. That's what I have running in my 7300, so let me know if you have any trouble. --Dave -- ======================================================================= "Pro is to con, as progress is to Congress..." >>-@@-> Dave Jenks ...!ucbvax!ucdavis!csusac!jetfuel =======================================================================

An ST-251 drive has 6 heads, 820 cylinders, and 17 sectors per track with the "standard" 512-byte sectors. It's an "ST-506", MFM drive, does NOT require any write precomp, and auto-parks on powerdown (though you may notice they don't always spin back up upon re-application of power! :-) Thad Floryan [ thad@cup.portal.com (OR) ..!sun!portal!cup.portal.com!thad ]
