[comp.sys.ibm.pc] request for hard drive info

sidwell@ohstpy.mps.ohio-state.edu (07/01/89)

I am planning to add a medium-size hard drive (40-80 mb) to my 10 mhz AT
clone at home, which has an MFM no-name drive controller and would like any
info on reliability and other considerations. Drives I've heard of and am
considering include: Seagate 251-1, Miniscribe 3053, Miniscribe 3085, and
Mitsubishi 535 (?). My understanding is that voice coil actuators are more
desireable than stepping motors. Any wisdom from the net would be much
appreciated. 
	Please excuse any finger trouble: this is my first posting on the 
net.   Thanks, Ron Sidwell
