I've been browsing fleabay for some cheap SCSI goodness and I got to thinking about how much I can actually trust used hard drives sold on ebay. For example, I was looking at these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2789704277&category=39975
It's a lot of 10 18.2gig SCSI drives. Now before anyone says anything:
1) I know they're SCA drives and I either need an 80->68 pin adapter or an 80 pin enclosure (<-- leaning towards one)
2) I know they're only 80MB/sec drives. That's OK. The server is going to be a light-duty web/DB/file server.
So, what's your guy's opinion on used disks? I'm thinking they might already have alot of hours on them.
