Wide Ultra320 SCSI Disks....(Techies?)
 

So I have a few dozen Wide Ultra320 SCSI Disks (A couple TB worth) and want to use them at home.
Anyone know of a Hotswapable or external drive bay that can take Wide SCSI or of any adapters that will let me use them on internal SCSI or SATA?

is making a box out the question, ? could use freenas and a scsi pci card.

Stick them on ebay and buy SATA kit with the cash.

You REALLY dont need the extra performance SCSI will give at home.

£120 will get you a 3TB external WD drive for example...

I considered the external box and it's possible, just seems a shame to waste the 3ft PC case with 10 empty HDD bays for yet another box ;) Kicking myself that I didn't think about selling the Disks and buying SATA! Was just going round in circles trying to get the Square peg into the Round bay, never occurred to me to swap the pegs :)

Agreed.

You'd need a controller card (or rather, multiple controller cards for a few dozen!) which will cost a bit.

Taking into consideration additional power, heat, noise, space etc, its really not worth it for home storage.
