I can't tell you anything about the XP32150s, but I've set up probably
three hundred ST32550Ns and have had very good luck with them. Their
write caches ship set to "disabled" by default, though, so it's
usually a good idea to stick it on something that'll allow you to edit
the contents of Mode Page 6 to turn it on, if my memory is correct.
