I’d be interested to know more about these adapters. Hm. Lots of SCA drives come up from the 2000s.

I found that these Quantums are great, I used to have several and sold them off thru the years. Out of DEC Digital Raid servers for enterprise environment. They’re 50 pin ultra quiet and very reliable. This comes from my 700/650 machine.

additionally, the DCHS series from IBM was also amazing. Alas I only have these in 68wide, so an adapter is needed. But they do work well. They sound like a jet turbine.

I submit the Seagate Wren 330 MB SCSI 5 1/4 inch drive is the noisiest drive I’ve ever heard. Listen for yourself
