I've got a bunch of 18GB SCA drives like this on
the other side of the
pond (Toronto) and have been meaning for several years now to set up a
box to test them; did actually test one with an 80<>68 pin adapter and
it worked, but in the meantime seem to have misplaced the system I
used...
Any interest to make it worth while?
Mike,
I would be interested but you may not be at my price points ;).
For example I bought about a whole lot of drives a couple of weekends ago - all with
caddies and with working 10K 18.2gb HDD (some in the new style caddies that expose the SCA
connectors and some with the card edge connector) from multiple vendors on eBay. My cost
of drives + caddies + shipping ranged from $9 to $12.50 per drive shipped
+ tax (depending on vendor size/location). I doubt it would be in any way worth it for you
to ship a drive from Canada to USA for close to those prices much less from Europe for the
OP.
I love a good working SCSI drives as much as the next guy but honestly shipping anything
out of the local area is fast becoming unacceptably expensive. So unless it is super rare
or "I must have it or die" the cost of shipping usually kills the deal even if
the item is appropriately priced.
