Im just trying to think with the collection of Real Sata HDs Ive got, dont think Ive ever had one fail yet, some make some wonderful noises when spinning but there all still working, maybe theres life in the Old Vinyls yet.  ;D :-\

I recently acquired a 1990s vintage SCSI drive (3.5", so relatively modern ;D) .. I'm going to be interested to see if it spins up once the replacement PSU for it's enclosure arrives ;D (it's inside a http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/impact500mk2 )

I've been relatively lucky with SSDs - failures have been Crucial (but I did have a fair few of them, only one failed) and Techman (fine with Win7, but constant corruption with Win8/10 - across all drives (they came with some PoS systems)).



aaronjb - shame, I binned a box load of SCSI-I drives only a couple of months ago. Massive, at 4.3Gb.  I had an 8" drive on my shelf in the office up until I moved desks. Weight a ton.  No idea of the interface, as it wasn't a standard connector. Came out of some proprietary 1980s Unix box.

It's always the case. As soon as you throw something away, you find a need for it. ::)

I had a 35 track 5.25" drive in the loft until recently. I really don't think I'm going to regret binning that. ;D

Mind you, I had to go cap in hand to a mate (who hoards old IT junk) for a 2.5" PATA drive not so long back  :-[

You can imagine the abuse I had to take, after all the abuse I've given him over using old shite ;D

Oh, I achieved that about 30 years ago. The poor old DFS needed to be told in unconventional ways that it only had 35 tracks, though, because it kept assuming it was a 40 track drive. Made for an expensive sounding noise when the head hit the buffers. ;D

Could have come here and saved your embarrassment. I've got a pile of them in the loft.

Two SSDs arrived this morning. Awaiting 2.5" enclosure to be delivered so I can mirror & install the drive in my Development PC and I will then use the enclosure for my other SSD as a backup drive.

Compared with Ebuyer glacial order processing with standard delivery, I'm impressed with The Box speed of despatch & delivery. :y

Delivery on mine was good, replacement due within 10 days they say, 3 days to go.

Not to worry - the SCSI drive itself will be replaced by a SCSI to SD adapter off the bay of fleas.. need to get a similar adapter to go in the A1200 I just picked up, too.

I appear to have sprouted a new problem ;D buying old junk to hoard ;D
