FWIW -

My 600e came with a Hitachi 10 GB drive, not and IBM. I was disappointed,
but it's been working fine.

I have repeatedly heard from disk fanatics that IBM makes the best small
drives. Given that I haven't had any disk failures with IBM disks, but
have had with others, that wisdom seems to be true. I'd stick with IBM
stuff for your IBM machine. Thats what I plan on doing when I decide to
upgrade either my i 1451 or i 1480.
