Okay, a simple "yes" would've worked... ;-)
So, to see if I understand you correctly...
- The SBB is the tray for the HDD...
The SBB is "Storage Building Block", with the storage element inside.
- The SBBs for
use in the 350, have a 50 pin connector, none have the
SCA...
Yes. The BA350 and BA356 have the same backplane connector, but the
wide SBBs can not be seen when installed in a BA350. However, narrow
SBBs can be used in a BA356.
-- If so, I
wonder if there is room inside the tray to fit a SCA
80-50pin
adapter?
Usually not. There isn't much room in the 3.5" SBBs. Maybe, if the
SCA converter was real small, it may fit.
-If I want to
use narrow SCA-80 drives in a Digital Storage Shelf, I
should
look for the 356 and SBBs for that?
It would be easier. With a BA356 you can use a BA35X-MG narrow
personality module if you want to connect to a narrow SCSI bus
or use a wide-narrow external SCSI cable. The only drawback
(which may not be an issue for you) is the HSxY0 raid controllers
don't work well with a wide-narrow external cable.
