Scsi Hdd 40pin To 80pin
 

Yesterday i bought a SCSI Hard Drive, but don't watch on connection of this HDD, on my hard Drive that was before are 80-pin's (ST318453LC), but on this (like google says) 40-pin's (ST3300007FC). Can someone give me Idea what to do :confused: :confused: ???? Please Help me ! BTW, i can't Change or sell this Hard Drive, and if you know what I need to buy, give me a link, where to get that... Please ! ;)

Sorry for my English :rolleyes:

I've had luck getting strange cable configurations from these guys:

They probably make an internal 40-pin to 80-pin cable.

Nope, I was talking with assistant (of that web) and he said that they don't have such cable or adapter

Did you ask about custom cables? Almost anything can be made but it can get expensive.

yes.. By the way, i am from Europe :D

The simplest solution would be to buy a SCSI controller card. I'm afraid there is no such solution as an adapter from an IDE interface (40-pin) to a SCSI (80-pin). I'm not sure how much they run, however.

I know what i can buy, but i can't find what i need :( and there is NOT IDE interface !

Someone says that this is not a SCSI HDD :eek: He says that this is Fibre Channel :orly: maybe someone can help now ? :rolleyes:

Yep. That's fibre channel. You'll need to get a fibre channel card.

Is this what I need ? : http://cgi.ebay.com/Qlogic-2200-Fibr...QQcmdZViewItem

or this ? : http://cgi.ebay.com/QLOGIC-QLA2340-2...QQcmdZViewItem

The QL2200 is a pretty generic card. You'll want to make sure that you don't get a "branded" one. In other words, QLogic puts a chip on the card that makes it only compatible with IBM or Dell servers.

hmm but I have IBM eServer xSeries 346 8840-55Y

Then you probably SHOULD get a branded one from IBM. They're a lot more expensive though. Sometimes you can find used IBM QL2200's on eBay though.

For $15 I'd try the generic one though.
