SCA drives - any interest?

Thanks everyone for your feedback. Since there may be sensitive data on them I have to either securely wipe them or destroy them; I did just find a couple of Proliant servers that somehow escaped my purge though, so wiping them may not be as big a PITA as I feared. Looks like most (~10) are 18.5GB 10KRPM 160 MB/s Ultra3 units, 4 or 5 146GB Ultra320s and a few in between. In case anyone is looking for the 'caddies' it looks like they're mostly HP/Compaq, including several dummies; I scrapped more IBM servers than HP, but to my surprise I only found two IBM units. I've noted the folks who expressed interest and I'll post again if/when I decide to test & wipe them; thanks again! m ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zane Healy" <healyzh at aracnet.com> To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Sent: Monday, November 02, 2015 10:37 AM Subject: Re: SCA drives - any interest?

I was lucky enough to get several Andataco 3-Drive JBOD boxes (I passed on the 7-drive units as to big, heavy, noisy, and power hungry). These are great for OpenVMS/Alpha and Sun systems, and provide a cheap way to get decent sized SCSI drives, as most people can't use them. I had a couple of the 3-Drive units and a DEC BA350 shelf running in our dining room for several years (the BA350 was on a VAX). My most recent score was some brand new 300GB SCA drives. :-) They'll allow me to take my Alpha down to two HD's and drastically shrink its power requirements. Zane
