after that, there was no question that i would take all the
SCSI drives for recycling. the SATA drives are much, much faster
that the `fastest'
of the old SCSI drives.
... and less likely to die.
How old are those drives?
My very vague rule of thumb is that the bathtub failure curve for most
moving computer machinery
rises steeply after at most about 5 years,
so if they're already a few years old ...
it's really not worth the time and effort trying to do a driver just
to keep the SCSI drives in service.
... for the couple of years before they inevitably die.
More usefully:
disassemble the drive(s) and use the platters for scaring crows and
art installations.
