2.16 GB SCSI drive for legacy systems

This 2.16 GB Seagate Barracuda drive uses a 3.5 inch SCSI Ultra interface with an 80-pin connector. It spins at 7200 RPM and provides a 512 KB buffer. The unit is supplied as a bare drive only.

Replaces slower narrow SCSI disks

The Ultra SCSI interface doubles the bus width compared with older narrow implementations, raising the theoretical transfer ceiling. The jump is worthwhile when a server or workstation backplane already supports wide Ultra SCSI and needs additional low-capacity spindles.

Fits 3.5 inch wide Ultra SCSI backplanes

Installation requires an 80-pin hot-plug backplane that supplies both power and signal through the single connector. No separate power cable is used. The drive adds one spindle to arrays or enclosures built for the Ultra wide standard.

Questions about this item

Will the 80-pin SCSI connector on this 3.5-inch drive fit my backplane?

The drive uses an 80-pin SCA-2 connector that combines power and data; it plugs directly into a hot-swap backplane or an 80-to-68-pin adapter for standard cables.

How do I set the SCSI ID so the host adapter sees the drive?

Use the three jumpers on the rear of the unit to select ID 0 through 7; the most common mistake is leaving all jumpers off, which defaults to ID 0 and can conflict with the host adapter.

What should I expect to replace on a 7200 RPM SCSI drive of this vintage?

The spindle motor bearings and actuator assembly are the parts that wear out; listen for new whining or clicking noises as early warning signs.
