Re: SCSI drives

Well I rummaged through the stuff I got with the server drives and I have an Adaptec SCSI PCI card 19160/29160 N. but I am still none the wiser what I need in cables

Re: SCSI drives

First post another pic of the drive so we can see the connector end. Then tell us how many drives you have or will be using.

Re: SCSI drives

As far as I can tell it only has this wide connector

Ah ok, designed to be put in a caddy and slid into a server then.
Not sure if you can get cables for those...

You need one adapter for each drive for these 80-pin SCA drives

Re: SCSI drives

Those are 80 pin. You will either need a backplain or 80-68 pin adapters and a 68 pin cable with with 1 connector for the card and 1 per drive plus a terminator on the end. The adapters arnt expensive the cables can be if you buy from the wrong place. Backplain would be a good route if you have a case that will let you mount it in and you can find one at a good price.

Get a external box like an HP disk system, it will be cheaper.
