I have a the following in one of my Ultra 2s:
sd0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: <SEAGATE, ST318203LC, 0002> disk fixed
sd0: 17366 MB, 9772 cyl, 12 head, 303 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 35566480 sectors
sd0: sync (100.00ns offset 15), 16-bit (20.000MB/s) transfers
sd1 at scsibus0 target 1 lun 0: <SEAGATE, ST318203LC, 0002> disk fixed
sd1: 17366 MB, 9772 cyl, 12 head, 303 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 35566480 sectors
sd1: sync (100.00ns offset 15), 16-bit (20.000MB/s) transfers

They're 10k RPM Cheetahs and it's been running 24/7 for a few years now
with nary a problem *touch wood*
