The Seagate 225 was the standard desktop workhorse.
I had its big brother, the Seagate 251 (40 MB)
The Seagate 238 was the RLL hardware compression version of the 225(up to 30 MB)
I hated configuring MFM hard drive controllers. (had to run debug in DOS).
When I could afford SCSI, I ran to it.

I bought both of those Seagates.
RLL was the beat way to increase capacity.
Yes, I also enjoyed SCSI.

The segmented memory was fun, too, when you tried to write some C or assembly.
