I've been reading a bunch of threads about using server drives in our old Macs, so I've been looking around . . .

. . . If someone in the tech Support Brigade could contribute a howto on Server HDD types and adaptation aimed at the rest of us, it would be very helpful.

Ultra320 SCSI controller cards (some) appear to be backward compatible with SCSI 3 and SCSI 2 . . .

. . . which makes me wonder if the Ultra 320 drives would be backward compatible for earlier controllers as well . . .

. . . some are listed as "SAS, SCSI" . . . what's SAS?

So, would an Ultra320 SCSI adaptable to our toys?

__if so: how?

__if not: why?

Links to any previous threads about server drives would be appreciated and will be posted here in a revamped IP . . .

Problems, problems...Where do I begin?
