Here we go again! Has any member used this drive for recording into..
Seagate ST150176LW
I have studied the mx2424 manuals and understand the bus protocol used: LVD and the only odd thing is this Seagate drive is 50 Gb in capacity! It is an Ultra2 scsi 7200 rpm 68 pin drive so seems to be compatible potentially (as an external drive of course) the Seagate manual states the drive works on LVD/SE.. Why does only 9/18/37 gb drives get mentioned - does the mx need drives of those sizes ONLY?
I am interested because this refurbed drive is like 1/3 of the price of a Seagate 18 Gb hdd of the same LVD specs..
Can anyone advise me please? I'm actually trying to correct a f-up I made buying a RAiD external enclosure which had a scsi external connector but the four drives inside were ATA-100 so don't work!! Oh well, I gutted the enclosure and I want to install 2 drives (1.6" height) in place of the four slimmer IDE drives...
