Possibly late in replying, but...

On an HP 3000/918 we've been using one for quite awhile with no problems (as
ldev 1).


Disk drives we're using on 9x7 and 9x8 machines:

lisa:
    1-C2490AM     2 GB    MASTER    MEMBER1          $SYS
    2-C2490AM     2 GB    MEMBER    MEMBER2          $SYS
    4-ST15230     4 GB    MASTER    FOO1             FOO
   13-ST19171     9 GB    MASTER    FUM1             FUM

tiktok:
    1-ST34573N    4 GB    MASTER    MEMBER1          $SYS
    3-ST39140N    9 GB    MASTER    MSET1            MSET

lion:
    1-ST34520N    4 GB    MASTER    MEMBER1          $SYS
   31-ST39140N    9 GB    MASTER    BIG1             BIG
   32-ST118273N  18 GB    MEMBER    BIG2             BIG
   33-ST39140N    9 GB    MEMBER    BIG3             BIG
   34-ST136403LW 36 GB    MEMBER    BIG4             BIG

scraps:
    1-ST34520N    4 GB    MASTER    MEMBER1          $SYS


Note: all are on a Single-Ended SCSI chain.

Note: "GB" above is closer to "billions of bytes" than
GigaBytes (1,073,741,824).

All of the Seagate drives (the ones beginning with "ST") were
bought off-the-shelf from various vendors (www.pricewatch.com).
