It's pretty surprising how many drives I don't remember because they had
such a short working life. JTS was one of the first Indian-made drives and
didn't even have the industry-standard drive dimensions (was too long by
about 1/2"). Seagate isn't infallible, either. I have a few of the
ST15230WC 4GB 3.5" SCSI drives. Miserable, hot-at-as-a-pistol drives. I
think I still have every Conner (under 500MB) that I ever purchased. There
were some bright spots in other manufacturers lines--the WD 31200 Caviar
drives were a bright spot in an otherwise dim line. Lots of dim
spots--the early Quantum XT-era MFM drives (e.g. 30MB) weren't bad, but
the Bigfoot IDE were awful, regardless of type.

Never used a Kalok then? Those things were nasty...
