I have been thinking about replacing my 9g SCSI HD in my G3/333 MT.
Don't replace, add. Do something like using the existing drive as your system and scratch space, and the new drive for your data.
Of course I want one that's faster and bigger. What do you think of this one G-listers? http://www.softwareandstuff.com/strg_ibmDRHS36d.html
This drive looks fine. Good deal; it's pretty close to my currently preferred price-point for SCSI devices: $1/GB.
Will my machine achieve anywhere close to 80MB/s?
Not on the built-in SCSI bus, which is limited to 10 MB/sec.
Do I need a new SCSI card or will a 80-pin SCA to 50-pin adapter do?
An SCA Adapter will work just fine. Unless you want the higher throughput - in which case you'll need a F/W SCSI card and the 68-pin vers of the Adapter.
