WTB: Ultra Wide SCSI hard drive for my CSPPC

[doctorq]

@A4000_Mad

You will be able to just buy a new bigger drive if needed. I have Seagate Cheetah 73 GB 68 pins drives connected to a CSPPC and a CSMKII, as well as Seagate Savvio 2.5" 80 pins drives connected to a Blizzard PPC and WarpEngine 4040.

Most drives will work; I'm quite happy with the Savvio disks; using a 80 --> 68 pins adapter (it's needed for connecting the drive, so no way around it), a mounting rail from 2.5" form factor to 3.5" form factor and you have a low noise SCSI harddrive, and better airflow in a desktop cabinet :-)

I'm using ACard IDE adapters as well, from 50 pins as well as 68 pins. They are a wonderful invention, and working great, so highly recommended. Nice to know that the 2.5" notebook adapter a-pex have can also be used.

-EDIT-

I have some spare drives if you can't manage to find any. They are from 1 GB to 74 GB, all working, but some are louder than others.

It's a SCA --> SCSI adapter, for use with either a 68 pins or a 50 pins controller. I use one exactly like this for a Seagate Savvio harddrive, and it can be used with all 80 pins SCSI drives.

You can get a much smaller adapter, which is only a 80 pins --> 68 pins adapter. It's not as big and clumsy as the one you have pictured, so it gives an improved airflow in the case. You can find them on ebay if needed.
