After two months searching for *BSD for my SCSI card (DPT 2122), I decided to
get a IDE (about 1GB) to install FreeBSD and NetBSD. Could someone point out
what I should pay paritular attention to when choosing a IDE harddrive to run
*BSD and what brand provides best performance/price? 

Thanks in advance.
