got me beat, my first HD was a Seagate ST-225 20mb MFM in 1990, and I can
buy 2 or 3 SATA 1.5 terabyte drives from Fry's for the same $$$
(uphill, in the snow, both ways ! <grin> )

500mb ??? wow, those are whoppers ! IIRC, the first drives we had in our
original SystemPro ( 386/33 ) were the Connor 210mb drives, eight of them.

'magical' ROM ??? I think that's stretching it a bit ... but to have the
drive firmware closely *matched* to the drive controller to ensure proper
operation and compatibility with different OS drivers is a big plus from my
experience. I like knowing that all drives in an array will behave exactly
the same way each time to a commoand from the controller. And I may have
been one of the lucky ones, but going all the way back to the old Compaq
SystemPro array controller , I've found the SMART array controllers from
Compaq/HP as better than decent, compared to problems I've had with generic
and older Dell PERCs. Your mileage may vary
