New drives, $39.95 apiece, for 18 GB (about $24.95 for 9 GB drives). I'd stick with UW-SCSI. In fact, I've recently converted by main machine from all-EIDE (using the on-mobo buses) to all-UW-SCSI (using an ATTO/Apple UW-SCSI card, which was: 1) flashed from Apple to ATTO, as to manufacturer, and, subsequently, 2) flashed to ATTO's latest firmware). >> I'm about to convert my "main machine" (7500 G3 466 MHz) from 9 GB SCSI II Seagates to a pair of Western Digital 18.3gb 7200 RPM 68 Pin Ultra SE/LVD drives; perhaps from the same "rescue" source. At least the price was the same. In addition I purchased an Apple/ATTO UL2D PCI LVD SCSI Dual Channel Controller from OWC ($29). I have the UW LVD 68 pin ribbon cable, the active LVD terminator and will attempt the drive change next weekend -- I'm too busy week days. My question is what utility do you (or anyone else on the list) recommend to format these drives. I plan to run OS X on one partition. Your expertise in this matter is greatly appreciated.
