80-pin is SCA. Definitely no SCA disks in there. The blue ones should be 68-pin, and the beige ones 50-pin.
Like I said though, double-check me :) Good luck, and have fun! -Ben ________________________________ From: Douglas Taylor <dj.tayl...@comcast.net> Sent: Sunday, February 4, 2018 8:17 PM To: Benjamin Huntsman; General Discussion: On-Topic Posts Subject: Re: DEC Storageworks Ben; Jbod. Didn't know what it meant until today. The computer has 4 SCSI controllers, the Storageworks is operated in a split configuration. 4 drives are on a RAID controller, the other 3 are on a normal SCSI controller. What I was getting at with replacing the disks in the carrier was exactly what you mentioned; LVD or HVD SCSI. I don't know what is in there. Is it 50 pin or 68 or 80 pin.
