Note: After formatting a disk to 1280-byte blocks on Genera, make sure to hard power cycle reboot the computer before trying to use it for a FEP file system or any other purpose.
From my own trials, these drives work:
- Seagate Barracuda ST336918N - 36G drive (up to 4,096 bytes/sector)
- Seagate ST39173N - 9G drive
- Seagate Cheetah ST19101W - Tall 9G drive
Per David K. Schmidt on June 23, 2016:
- Seagate 18 GB drives known to work:
- Cheetah X15 ST318451LW
- ST118273N/W
- ST318416N/W
- ST318417N/W
- ST318418N/W
It seems that Seagate's later SCSI drives will only format to 528 byte maximum block sizes per the PDF manuals. For example:
- Seagate Cheetah X15 drives:
- ST318451 - max 2,064 bytes/sector
- ST318452 - max 704 bytes/sector
- ST318453 - max 528 bytes/sector
- Seagate Cheetah 10K drives:
- ST336607LW - max 528 bytes/sector
- ST336752LW - max 704 bytes/sector
However, others I have found that may work:
- Seagate Cheetah ST336704LW - max 4,096
- Seagate Cheetah ST336706LW - max 4,096
- Seagate Cheetah ST318404LW - max 4,096
- Seagate Barracuda ST336938LW - max 4,096
Note that when using these wide drives, use an active terminator.
