Around mid-1999 EMC signed a multi-$billion contract to buy a HUGE number of
little disks from IBM over a period of several years. So IBM was making
disks then. And I think that contract expired about half a decade ago.
--------------------<unsnip>------------------
I can't help but wonder: when a purchased storage array device is
decommissioned, are all those little drives of any use for PC
replacements? What sorts of interfaces do those drives require? (E)IDE
or SCSI of SCSI-2 ??
(I might be able to pick up an old 2105-F20 for the cost of a rental
truck. It's currently at 1.2 TB)
