    what kind of hdd is this??

    Came across a bunch of these in the servers that I got in. Never seen them before. What type of connection do they take, and can anyone tell me what I need to buy so I can wipe them?

    Here is a picture of the connection.

    if I dont answer anymore tonight, I am in the process of processing all the servers I got it, getting stuff listed on ebay for sale, and then hitting the bed. If I remember, I will check back.

    Swiper no swiping.

    Get a computer with the right SCSI adapter. Kind of a no brainier, or just find mr smashie and crush it.

    Geo I use a supermicro server with how swap 80 pin scsi conector to wipe those. You will spend over $500 to be able to hook those up to your home PC. I buy those 73gb and larger just check my buyers page under SCSI.
