Title: FA:9gb and 18Gb SCSI-2 Seagate HDDs
Post by: Amiga_Nut on June 10, 2011, 10:43:51 AM

Company I work for have a number of spare Seagate Cheetah 10,000RPM SCSI-2 HDDs in 3.5" form factor for sale. Very fast obviously. So if anyone fancies one make an offer.

Thanks

Seems to be Ultra wide (u160) 80pin drives ("SCSI3").

"SCSI-1", "SCSI-2", "SCSI-3" etc are pretty bogus when it comes to interface types.

These SCA-2 drives require an SCA-to-whatever-you-require adapter, eventually with terminator option.

Good luck with those prices - I usually give them away for free.

Indeed, I've got trays of SCA disks for nothing, nobody wants them. And listing them as Amiga compatible is like listing SATA drives as Amiga compatible, sure you can get both running with adapters but its not really a drop in replacement.

That sure looks high (price wise) to me. To us here in the States, these drives wouldn't be worth the shipping cost...
