Well the New DELL server is cranking along just fine. But I need to add a 2nd hard drive.
Anyone have connections for a ultra 3 SCSI 18gig hard drive ?

Let me know

Tim

 

just checked my pocket...sorry bud...can't help you out.

 

Tim, E-mail my brother..He's a computer geek(and freak) and He told me to tell you to email him the specs for what you want and he will price around thru his connections..Tell him I told you to e-mail him, so he know's who u are..

d'oh, I just received (2) free 18GB SCSI Ultra 2's a couple days ago- I gave one to my friend and used the second. I have no connections to get an Ultra 3 though. So, basicelly I can't help

 

Tim,

Are you sure you mean SCSI-3?

A lot of servers use Ultra160 LVD drives (Ultra-Wide).

These are a lot easier to find.

:-jon

 

yes ultra 3 SCSI

zesta might have one for me, but I want to see if anyone else has anything, if not I will get one from him...

 

I got one, but its in used, plus it also a raid controller. Sorry Tim, If I had a spare I would give it to you.

 

"Ultra 3" generally refers to Ultra160 LVD. They are not exactly the same, but Ultra160LVD is a subset of the Ultra3 standard as I understand it.

 

To make sure everyone understands:

This is what it means:
SE=Single Ended
HVD SCSI or Differential SCSI=High voltage differential SCSI, based on EIA485
LVD SCSI=Low voltage differential SCSI

I buy my drives from Hypermicro Systems. They are really nice to deal with and are very knowledgeable. Also, if you mention www.storagereview.com you can get free shipping too. I have no affiliation, just letting you know of a good place.

Another thing, the Quantum atlas 10KII 18GB ($229.00) is a good drive (I own a 9.1 GB version), along with the seagate cheetah 36XL ($225.00), or the Seagate X15 18GB ($345.00) if you want the fastest SCSI drive available.

Do you need 80 pin SCA for your server or 68 LVD? Big difference when you buy so check it out first. The 80 pin SCA is hot swappable, but requires a special HBA. I don't know what type of server you have so i can't check.
