Does your drive work? mine seems to be dead. Scsi adapter says that the drive failed to respond to start, and it was negotiating a 8 bit ASYNC bus when the rest of the SCSI chain is a 16 bit ultra160 bus.
@@Struukbessen I’ve got a IcyDock 5.25” SCA to 68pin drive bay that the drive’s connected to. Have tried basically every jumper setting possible on both the drive and the icydock drive bay, drive has a Ultra320 terminator on the connected after the icydock drive bay. If I use one of those Chinese 80pin to 68pin adapters the drive doesn’t even spin up, despite the delay or remote start jumper being open. I’m starting to think it’s had a PCB failure. Bugger. I’ll let the seller know… Edit: the drive spins up and initialises as normal, Activity LED goes out once it’s finished initialising, only making a few very quick blinks when the SCSI controller tries to talk to it, but that’s it. It even sounds like it’s doing some self diagnostics while it’s waiting for commands, kinda sounds like a steam train chugging lol.
@@thegeforce6625 With a Chinese 80pin to 68pin adapter I use no jumper on the HDD and only one jumper on the adapter (ID1) and the drive works fine and even spins up with only power cable connected.
It's a server drive, but designed and made by Fujitsu. After Toshiba acquired the HDD branch of Fujitsu, they produced some HDDs with their technology.
0:55 Some of those Barracuda SCSI drives have that unique "beep" like noise. I have one that makes a similar noise.
0:52
1:00 sounds like a jet engine shutdown
That's quite a collection you have.
the seagate cheetah sounds like an entire server running
That;s because it's a server drive. Servers have multiple drives like this
@@MyComputerStudios_ i know why, i was just pointing it out. Old server drives are probably the loudest computer part known to man.
@@XLGamingexcluding 1U server fans at 100% 🤣
0:42 i recently purchased that exact drive off of ebay NOS! Hasnt arrived yet though.
WD tidbit ? That's another I didn't know existed!
WD Tidbits were mobile drives for notebooks
@@Struukbessen those are rare, but the caviar lite is rarer
@@XL-Tech caviar ultra lite is even rarer
Will there ever be a part 4? I really like these videos!
maybe in some years, when I have more drives. It's getting hard to find old drives for reasonable prices
ExcelStor was China's first and only hard disk maker. They made Iomega REV disk cartridges.
It sounds and looks just like an IBM 40GB I have
replying to my own comment, said drive arrived today!
...and it doesnt work.

Yes, works fine. Do you use an SCA to SCSI adapter? If yes, it needs to be jumpered correctly.

@@Struukbessen mine does that too, mechanically seems fine but falls flat on its face once the SCSI controller starts trying to talk to it. Odd.
@@thegeforce6625 sorry to hear that...
Is that toshiba a server drive ? Didn't know they made those

Sounds like me I'm slammed myself on my head with wall ang I'm crying like
Noisy hard disk drive
