The ST32550N (2GB seagate) and ST15150 (4GB Seagate) drives are not known to
cause disk corruption (as far as i know!) except on CIO systems...specifically
925, 935, 949, 950, 955, 960 and 980. Even then, this is fixed in patch mpejx14.
 
The 2GB and 4GB drives are supported with express 3 powerpatch or simply 2
patches mpejx14 for the iodfault file and ofdhxe3 which provides the offline
diagnostics for the 4GB drives, or odijx25 doing the same stuff for the 2GB
drives.
 
Hope that helps =)

When we purchased/updated our 957, we were advised to buy 1 GB SCSI drives
over the 2 GB drives.  I remember awhile back on this list some discussion
over the reliability of the 2 GB drives.
 
Does anyone know if this has been resolved?  We are now needing to add 2 to
4 GB and told the 1 GB drives are not available.  Our HP rep is advising us
to buy 2 GB C5257U SCSI drives at this point in time.  What about the 4 GB
drive?
 
I would appreciate any comment.
 
Thanks,    Grant
