Did you find mostly Rodime drives (RO652 Tpe 20 A) in your SE's? I guess I haven't opened 10% of the number you did, but in 20 MB drives, they were mostly Miniscribe 8425 Ss, only one Rodime, assembled in Scotland, BTW. From 40 MB on there were nearly exclusively Quantum drives for a couple of years until IBM came in (remember that huge 160 MB 5,25" drive in the IIfx? The desk always seemed to make a sideways jump when the drive started spinning). Strangest find I had this far was a 30 MB drive in an SE, surely not original, but very old-style. I even think it was a Rodime drive, but I don't have it at hand, so I can't tell for sure. Is there a table somewhere of which manufacturer's drives shipped with which Mac?
