To find a hard disc

Try Storage Review first, click on features [ Check out the Seagate SCSI Hawk 4XL drive. (4.x GB)]
storagereview.com

To check prices and find vendors use Price Watch
pricewatch.com

To check vendor reputation try Sysop
sysopt.com
(give it time to load)

Some good info on the Seagate site

ATA, Narrow, and Wide hard disc connections
PICTURE
shop.seagate.com
(copy and paste https links to address window)

Storage Basics (indicates ultra is 50 pin)
shop.seagate.com

If you see wide in a drive designation it will be 68 pin and you would need a 68 to 50 pin adapter.

If you look at a seagate drive product number, N stands for Narrow and W stands for Wide .

for example

Seagate Hawk 4XL ST34555W ( 68 pin connector )
Seagate Hawk 4XL ST34555N (50 pin connector )
