I got some older SCSI HDs from a yard sale a while ago. The condition of other equipment purchased from this sale was good. I am confident that these drives are ok, so I'm going to take a chance on buying a controller card.
The Drives are: 1) WD Enterprise WDE 9100 9.1 GB Single-ended Ultra Fast Wide SCSI-3 Interface 2) WD Enterprise WDE 9180 9.18 GB Ultra2 LVD SCSI I have never setup SCSI drives before. Here is what I know about SCSI: NOT MUCH! (Except what Garl said about speed and reliability, etc.) My plan is to slap these into a WinMe system, to be migrated to Linux after I test out the performance. I will be using one drive and keeping the other as a spare. Given that I paid a buck for these drives, and with SATA becoming popular, should I spend to get a controller card and cabling? Would trade one HD for a card and cable. Send them downstream or hold them till other pieces float by?!
