According to Sean Eric Fagan:

Only fast SCSI2. No Ultra or Wide for this one. Get a SC-875 if you want to 
put an Ultra and/or Wide drive.

If you don't need a 7200 rpm drive, IBM has several good drives at 5400
rpm. They run slower but also cooler than 7200 ones. I have a DORS-32160 (2 
GB) and a DCAS-34330W (4 GB) and they run fine. Both are Ultra and the
34330W is of course also wide.

There is also a DCAS-32160 but I don't know the differences between DORS
and DCAS (except that IBM don't sell DORS anymore :-))
