Answer» Ok, so I just bought some SCSI drives for a sever I am building to help me GET my MCSE. The drives I bought are Compaq 36.4GB Ultra3 10K SCSI. My problem comes from looking at the pictures of it, as I have not received it in the MAIL yet. The connector on the drive looks like its D shaped like a DB connector yet all the ultra3 cables i've seen are rectangular.
I have a theory that this i because the drive is meant to go in a hot swap tray, but I am not using the trays. Also the controller on the mobo is a D shape so this screws my earlier theory but why CANT I find a cable like this? I am also confused as to the pin count some sources say 68 and others say 80 for the same drive.
I am really confused here. THANKS in advance for the help.What's the specific model of the drive? SCSI cabling and connectors can be confusing so I do know where you're coming from.Model number is: bdo3664545
There is a pic of the label attached
Thanks
[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]Pic of the drive is nice, but can't see the connector, but is does say Wide Ultra-3 SCSI. You could count the pins!
This is 68-pin SCSI
