Hey!

So, on my hand, I have come into possession of 3 Seagate 15.5k Cheetah SAS drives, each holding 73GB each.

I don't have a raid card to support these, much less any cables for SAS, but I would like to use them. I might pick up more in the future. I got these for free from a company that was going to dispose of them because they were getting dated. They're probably a year old. Pretty easy to get right now, I could just walk by.

But first, I wanted to see if I could actually get one of them to work.

Is there a RAID card for these that's not extremely expensive that I could pick up somewhere?

Thanks

Not as long as its all set up right. Could get ok speeds that way with a RAID 0 I guess, assuming you have an appropriate board etc, but seems a lot of trouble to go to lol.

I love playing around and messing with stuff. Trouble isn't really a consideration; makes it better if anything.
