I am NOT a computer tech type, so my knowledge and ability is limited. I have a lot of SCSI drives that I need to test and wipe if working. I have the docking stations for SATA and IDE drives, but haven't found something similar to test scsi drives. Anyone have any suggestions for testing these? I have 140 +/- drives, so not opposed to buying equipment if there is something you recommend. Thanks!
The easiest and cheapest is to get an scsi adapter card. The docks that are scsi capable are really expensive. I have some on hand if you need one, but would need to know what kind of machine you are using.
What are they, old server SCA drives (power and data on one socket)?
I would have to check. I got 3 AS/400 expansion cabinets and each has about 45 drives in them. They are 9, 16 and 35 gigs each. I saw the 9 gigs selling on ebay for $27 each. The details on one of them is as follows:Quote:

Easy way to test them is get a blade server that will take that size drive. Then run the clean program built into the scsi card. The drive you listed above only sold 2 in the past 90 days that were used. If you have abunch of them you would have to beat everyons prices on ebay and sit on them for a long time. I have found that anything below 73gb in scsi is not worth selling on ebay. I also only sell the 80 pin and I think that drive is a 68 pin.
Thanks for the info. It might have been the 16 gig that I researched and was more. I know that one of the three had some nice sold listings. I'll have to get my computer "guy" to figure out a setup for me when he gets back in town.Quote:
