The other which I'm going to swap in once I get the mounting adapter is a Seagate Savvio 2.5" U320 SCSI drive. This one is nice in that it's a 10K drive with fluid bearings and is even quieter than the Fujitsu, both being much quieter than the stock drives these old machines came with. Another perk is that it supports termination so with the $2.75 adapter you can plug it straight in without using a terminated cable. Power consumption is about on par with the old 3.5" drives that originally came in these things. The Savvio drives come in 36GB and 74GB sizes, both ridiculously large.

Do you know which model you got? The one I've been keeping my eye on on Ebay, ST936701LC, has a datasheet which claims that termination must be supplied externally. It would be great to have a drive with termination on the drive.

I have used an Acard AEC-7720U combined with a 2.5" 8GB Transcend SSD IDE drive with 2.5" to 3.5" convertor.Even though Acard says the AEC-7720U does not support hard drives, I have got zero problems with the setup.

I don't know if it works with other SSD or IDE hard drives.

The Acard adapters I got were reasonably cheap, around 100$, but I bought them many years ago too, now they are rare.

About four years or so ago, for a while there, there were scores of them on Ebay in the $30 - $40 range. If we had only known...
