NEED SCSI HELP!

I have aquired a server that has a hot-swappable U160 drive cage in it. Do I need to put SCA drives in it or will regular U160 drives be OK? Each drive sits in a holder and slides into a back plane. I don't see where the power comes from if I don't use SCA....

The case in question is the intel Hudson Server chasis SC5000.

Thanks,

mike
 
SCA drives.

Be advised that the SC5000 was sold in different versions. One supports hotswapping, the other doesn't. With the non-hotswap version, you need to powerdown before removing/adding drives.

 
On that server everything (power, signals, drive addresses, spin up timing, etc.) is supplied thru the backplane and it requires SCA drives to do that, as bozo said. www.centrix-intl.com and www.hypermicro.com are two good sources of inexpensive SCA SCSI drives - eBay also has plenty of them up for auction at any given time. . I just bought one of the 9GB U160 Seagates from C-I and it's working great for me adapted to 68-pin.
