Uniserver - I think the sca to 50 pin is the way. I have 2 SCA drives

-

My external drive is a quantum fireball 1.2 gig and I use it as my main store of all the software I have collected since I started collecting macs. And guess what..........when I switch it on its starting to click

-

this is a disaster over here..im so dam fed up over it.

-

I managed to get the 40 meg from the performa partially revived. I used Anubis to initialize it and then partition it into 2x 20meg drives. Only one succeeded , the other failed and every time I boot it asks to be initialized.

-

at least the one that is working has passed all tests (so far) and I have copied over loads of software from the external....well.. 18 meg worth. At least it is booting. But I have no faith in its life expectancy

-

is there any  problem with power consumption on these savvio drives when it comes to old macs? - I guess they probably  use less power, and the more I think of it,  the dependability is getting more and more attractive

-

will have to get some of these units...even if its for my main storage of all the software ive collected. Then go about replacing all the drives.

-

again uniserver....thanks for sharing the info.....

-

the plan now is to get these new drives, remove all the old ones and store them...........as it seems trying to keep the old drives working is simply a loosing battle

-

Houston..we have a plan!!!!
