I was going to comment that the only way I could see a
1U VAX was if
someone rack mounted a 4000/VLC. Is that the stock VLC power supply?
My cluster doesn?t even have that much space.
What do you use to go from SATA to SCSI (SCSI-1 even)?
It's a standard 1U power supply with a custom adapter. You can see it
better here:

I use a SATA to IDE adapter, then an IDE to UW-SCSI adapter, then an
UW-SCSI cable and terminator, then finally a 68 to 50 pin adapter.
The previous drive was a Samsung SSD, but I think that constant, non-stop
swap use wore it out. This was the smallest new spinning rust drive I
could find.
SCSI2SD would work for a while, but, again, swap usage would wear out an
SD card in no time, I'm sure.
