Per a post regarding successful HD change on this list, we replaced 2 RAQ1
HD's with the same Seagate 30GIG drives. Model ST330630A Barracuda -  30.6
GB - DMA/ATA-66 (Ultra) - 3.5" internal - 8.5 ms - 7200 rpm.

They have worked great. With restore disk (I wouldn't try to disk copy)
they format automatically. 7200 rpm.. and this model is built for heavy use.

A post from Cobalt in the Knowledgebase mentions that you shouldn't go
above 30Gig (Linux limitiations).
