Monster 9GB SCSI drive, must see... (thanks Red!) lol

Okay, so I've got the week from hell going here, but this brought a smile (in a WTF?! kind of way) to me face. Pictured is a 2091, a regular sized HD and that thing in the upper left... that's a beast I just bought off of Red! lol  Caught it on his site, the pic showed it to look a little taller than a reg. HD, but at $8, figured I could still make it work. Had originally planned on using it for my A1000.

At 8"D x 5-3/4"W x 3-1/2"H and weighing in at a hefty 8 pounds, this thing is gigantic and weighs a ton!! So much for mounting it to the 2091  ;-)  And what about powering that puppy? I'm fresh out of nuclear reactors over here.  rotflmao

Anyone out there with a 50-pin 4GB or larger HD they'd care to trade for the 16GB 68 pin drive pictured? I need a 50 pin drive as the adapters I have don't play well with the 2091 & A1000.

LOL! This is a full height (FH) drive, I guess you missed that :-/ Sorry it was bigger than expected ;-)

One note. Depending on your A2091 ROM revision, you may have problems with drives bigger than 1GB.

-Edit-
Come to think of it I did the exact same thing back in ~2001. I built a homemade 3000T and ordered a full height drive. While it worked, it took up 2x 5.25 drive bays! The weight shocked me a bit. I hadn;t seen a full height drive before that ;-)

I always thought full-height meant the kind that would fit in a 5-1/4" drive space. Goes to show you never stop learning! lol

And BTW: I have 7.0 ROMS in my main 2091, but haven't tried formatting that puppy yet. Waiting to throw a 3.1 ROM in my A1000 ala a DJBase Kickstart ROM adapter.

TAKE IT APART !!!! would love to see how big its disks are also the magnets on that thing would be very very very powerful. If you were in OZ i would easly swap any HDD for that Monster!!!
And Yes i love taking apart hard drives (Super Geek PORN!).

No need to destroy a perfectly working boat anchor! lol  Already did that to a drive I pulled out of an old IBM to make this lamp...   Enjoy the porn  :-)
