Leon: I have been working with SCSI drives for quite some time, and my 2 real recommendations for you 7300 are:
1) Get a PCI SCSI Card before anything else, and 2) Go with a 68 pin Hard Drive. A drive that seems slow on a mac SCSI bus will act much faster on an external SCSI interface, as it is designed for more speed. Besides, the Mac bus is limited to 10MBps, theoretically, anyway. With a SCSI Card, your budget is the only thing that limits your speed. You can get 20, 40, 80, 160, and 320 MBps cards, which you can keep using in other macs later, and you will get better results from them. As for the drive, go to eBay, and check out the 36GB SCSI Drives from Fujitsu. They usually sell new there for $100-130. Think long term with your SCSI upgrades. As for the IBM Drive, if it is not too old (7 years or more): Go to http://ssddom01.storage.ibm.com/hddt/Dlocator.nsf/Search?Openform >From there, you can enter different information to try and find your drive. Good luck. David Leon Sargent wrote on Wednesday, June 19, 2002 5:35 AM Does anyone happen to know the RPMs or any data transfer information or can someone show me so I can read it for myself. I am thinking of purchasing a Fujitsu 18.2 gig, 7200 RPM, 80 pin to 50 pin converted hard drive from OWC. But if anyone knows where I can get info or have information about this IBM 1.12 Gig drive please let me know off list or online if you feel this is where it needs to be discussed.
