/Wow!/
The larger-capacity drives generally had higher data
rates and most
WD-based PC-clone controllers couldn't handle them. I think the largest
were targetted towards ESDI-based RAID arrays. They were built like

Oh, absolutely.
The ESDI interface was sort-of like a slightly scaled
down SMD interface.
SMD?
