I've got 8-9gig SCA SCSI hard drives, what to do?

So I should buy a box with a backplane?
Where ? cheap!
Would it be worth raiding? or too small to bother?
 
How new are the drives in terms of current generation drives? If they are fairly new you could build a nice Raid 5 array or you could use one for your OS and use the rest for storage. Also, they do make SCA to 68 pin adapters, just make sure you get U160 complient adapters. Or, you could give them to me and I should be able to give them a good home.😉
 
They are Seagate 7200 rpms ones couple years old.
I surplused some servers last spring and the new servers came with 36 gig 10k's
Thats what I was thinking was Raid 5 BUT I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for HW raid and backplane, sigh but if they sit much longer , stale stale stale. . . .
 
Your best off selling them if they're 7200rpm drives and buying a 10k or even a 15K drive. You could also use them for storage but these days 9gigs is nothing.
 
ttt for the day crowd!
So thats it is it, sell em?
Sigh maybe I'll slide over to for sale trade then.
So half price of a new 9gig bout right?
