Scott:
Can't find a 3 1/2" hard drive advertisement? You probably haven't been
looking for the right thing. All of Seagate's ST-1xx series are 3 1/2" and
will fit in the Model 30.
As for drive cards ... most of them are regular 3 1/2" hard drives mounted with
a controller card. And most of these are unreliable because of the physical
positioning of the drive. The ONLY hard drive card that I recommend (strongly)
is the HardCard by Plus Systems. They have been the ONLY hard drive card that
I've encountered that is truly a hard drive CARD and NOT a hard drive and a
controller card mounted together. HardCard's are a bit more expensive but I
think that they are worth it if you must go with a hard drive card.
Regular hard drives are of course the better choice, overall.
