Part # for SSA 100 4.2G drives?

[Tom Jones]

The 540-2939 is NOT the drive for an SSA100 series.  That part number
is for the SSA200 series that uses the RSM trays.

The physical drive is the same (Seagate ST34371WC) with the 540-2939 and the 540-2937.
The difference is the 540-2937 has the SSA bracket while the 540-2939 has the RSM 
clamshell and bracket.  You could possibly order the cheaper drive and swap the brackets....
