It's been a while since I looked at it, but there are lots of different
standards/speeds for SCSI drives and also connectors. Ideally get the
fastest drives you can afford and make sure that they are the same
make/model of drive.

For that sort of stuff I usually call http://www.scan.co.uk and follow the
recommendations.

Good Luck.
