    I have used several brands, WD, Seagate, Kingston and they have all worked with NetBSD.
    I've even used a Kingston SATA to USB converter with an SanDisk SSD and had no issues.
    
    Best of luck,
    Travis

Thats great, thanks for the hint, Travis. I will fetch a WD or Seagate.
Will miss my tape streamer though, it has style...
