[rescue] Is there a reason I wouldn't want to add this drive to my Ultra?

Below is a link to an IBM 36 Gig LVD drive, and everything I have read
tells me that:

1) IBM makes good drives
2) $5/Gig is a pretty good price
3) Big drives are nice

I am thinking of dropping one of these in either my Ultra 2 or my Ultra
30 - I assume there would be no problem in either machine...

I realize that I will not get all the performance the drive is offering,
but it *should* work as fast as my onboard U/W SCSI interfaces will (the
drive won't limit performance, the controller will).

Here is the link:

Your feed back is appreciated,

(These same drives tend to sell for $10-20 cheaper by auction, BTW)
