this thread looks like it has some promise.

I could supply bare PCB's for cost price (about $3 each plus shipping), orcompleted boards for $45 AUD + shipping.
45 AUD for a completed board sounds not too shabby!

I mean if something like this was available(in 50pin scsi), it would be even more awesome!!

(a mention from bunsen)

Then i feel you would really be getting some redundancy + speed as well.

looks like the other solutions out there are the CF aztech monster:

for an even bigger hunk o money.

or you could buy one of these adaptors from alex for 10 bucks memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=21831

And use any assortment of 2.5/3.5 *legacy backwards compatible* ultra fast. ultra quiet. ultra cheap SCA 10k 15k Hard Drive variants.

There's also some mention of possible 3.5" SCA hard drives that are tested and known backwards compatible, other then the eServer 2.5" ones i sell for $20ea

I'v got these drives in both of my classics, and i couldn't be happier with the results i am getting. + Total Cost.

These SCA HD's will probably last as long as the set of fresh electrolytics installed or maybe longer.

If you wait and and watch ebay, you can find lots of 10+ SCA HD's for around $3 each!

I sell mine pre partitioned and ready to throw in and use, but if you have no issues with setting up the hd's, then you will be good to go.
