SCSI hard drive options

I am running ESIX on a Dell 310 with 8 Megs RAM.  I wish to upgrade my HD
from MFM to SCSI.  I considered ESDI but thought the SCSI would be a better
option for the long run.  I have decided to purchase the Adaptec 1542A
controller.  One of the sales people at Hard Drives International said that
they have had numerous returns of the Miniscribe 9380S.  Owner cite
compatability problems with the interface.  They have had no problems with
the ESDI version.  Any comments from NETLAND?  Also, is anyone using a
Micropolis drive with the above setup or just this type of drive with the
adaptec card?  I am very interested in responses since I will purchase this
subsystem within the month.  Thanks for the replies and I will post any info
that I receive.
