    The ST225 was indeed 65ms...scary slow.  It
made a great distinctive
 "peep-peep" sound, though...which I liked even more than the [still
 rather cool] "chirp-chirp" sound of the ST251 and ST251-1. :-) 
 I *love* that sound.  Another good one is the IBM WDA-105.  That was a
 nice-sounding drive.  Another melodic one.  Only 5 megs though.

I used to have a pair of full height Micropolis that sounded just wonderful.. 
Jet-engine
noises on startup, and a thick twang-beeeeep sound when it seeked.

Dun remember what model, and I'm too lazy to dig em out and see, but I'm sure 
they
were 170M units.
