    I've been looking at that one. The description says the drive is
    *Ultra*-SCSI. What's the difference between SCSI & Ultra-SCSI,
    and will an Ultra-SCSI drive work in the 7200?

    Similar question as the one above. This drive is listed as "SCSI-2".
     Is SCSI-2 compatible with the 7200? Forgive my naivete on this;
    SCSI is one old technology I never learned very much about.
