SCA drives - any interest?

[Mike Stein]

I don't understand the question; what kind of drives are you talking about?

These are fairly high performance hot-swappable SCSI server drives, 10,000 or 
15,000 RPM with transfer rates of 160 or 320 MB/s, probably still in use in some 
installations out there.

I scrapped the servers some time ago and am considering whether it's worth 
taking the time to set up a system and securely wipe the drives or just take the 
security hammer and drill to them and send them off to the scrapper.
