          Narrow 50-pin  It should, but I don't have a lot of confidence in old
Seagate drives.

Hmm, if that's one of the Barracuda drives, I've run one for several years
without trouble. They do get *very* hot though, so make sure you've got a
decent cooling system. 
Yup, those barracudas run very hot, and sink lots of power.  But they
were pretty fast for their time.  Just make sure that the airflow
and the power supply are adequate and you should have no problems.
I've been running three ST15150WD for years.
