Hi All
I Have a beige G3 Rev 2, Sonnet Encore G4/8000, 768MB RAM, & the
original Apple UW SCSI card - flashed back to ATTO. Is there a
capacity limit on SCSI drives this will support?
I don't remember what the physical limit is with SCSI-1/2/3. But the
OS limit is around 2 TB per drive.
I'm looking at 15k Ultra 320 (SCA 80 pin) and I know I've got a 68-80
adapter floating around somewhere. I've seen some used massive (to
me) 146GB & 300GB. for very small prices. Is this a workable option?
Yup. Go for it.
ObQuip: I've seen a lot of big, 200+ GB, drives fail while still quite
young. Doesn't feel like they're anywhere near as reliable as their
smaller kin. Keep good backups.

Thanks Dan,
The drive(s) in question are HP Ultra320 300gb Hot plug drives, and are
new. They're 80-pin SCA-2. and being intended for use in a server (and
S.M.A.R.T. drives) I hoped they would be at least as reliable as the two
somewhat middle-aged, if not elderly IBM DNES-318350W 18GBs my Mac's
running right now. When I bought this Mac (October '98) its 4GB
ultraSCSI seemed more space than I'd ever want - now 2x18GB SCSI and an
80GB ATA and I'm thinking "Must have more space....."
