SCSI advice

[Dave Erickson <gsa700@mediaone.net>]

I am planning to upgrade my Workstation with a new SCSI hard drive and
controller.

I have been looking at this one:

And I was looking at an Adaptec Controller. I am new to SCSI and need a
little advice, is this a good choice for a drive? I heard the IBM's were
good. If not, what do you suggest?

Could you also suggest a controller card? I don't see any difference
besides ISA/PCI but I am sure there must be. I would need it to be fully
supported by Linux (of course) and be able to run my Scanner (Umax
Astra600s) also. 

Thanks!
