SCSI disks in this day and age?

[NorthWay]

In my continuing adventures to revive and piece together my old A4000 I really need to replace those horrible drives with a single drive with 10G+ size.

Are there any good webshops that sell something a CyberStorm/SCSI will be happy about?
I have been trying to find some local shops, but if they happen to have SCSI it is so far out more expensive than SAS it is boggling. And way bigger than I need anyway (and price seems to scale linearly with size anyway).

(Some IDE<->memory card device is a worst case solution if I can't find anything else...)

I have moved away from hard drives. The benefits of CFs cards such as noise (or lack of..) and reliability outweigh anything else.

On my 4000T I was getting about 9mb/s on the built in SCSI controller

What device are you using for that?

Why not just go to Mechware's site and get one of these http://a4000t.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65_79&products_id=184

Way Cool Stuff!

That looks like a winner unless someone knows a similar item that is even faster?

Thanks for all the information, suggestions, and offers.

I have been able to lay my hands on some old-but-not-as-ancient-as-what-I-had disks I'll test when I find some good floppies.

Still, a memorycard based solution would be preferable.

I see that there are SATA<->SCSI converters too.

Anyone have some makes and models to recommend? (Or where to buy?)

The 4 drives I scrunged for myself yesterday are making me uncertain: They have no power plug. Is this some low-voltage or other standard that gets power from the bus connector? Will it work with my old controller?


(And my 4000 is turning into a nightmare. Every regular floppy would just boot to an open shell, I would get 8000000B from wossname cybremovable driver until I pulled the external cable altogether, and when I booted Hybris it showed errors in the background gfx - either chipset errors or memory errors if I'm lucky)

Does it look like this?

Yep, that's the one. Thanks for the info, I'll have to google yet more.

I ordered mine through Amazon UK. Was a little more than $5 but for once something on the cheap side.
