Which hard drive?

[Yuriman]

I have an HP Vectra XU netserver, dual P-Pro 200's and 1024mb of ram, but while I was away from home my family members dropped (???) the 8gb 7200rpm seagate baracuda I was going to use and broke it. So, I have these hard drives spare:

1x http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/ata/st310211a.html (from my xbox)

3x http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/scsi/st32155n.html

Normaly it would be a no-brainer in favor of the 10gb, but space isn't a problem on the main drive. I have a load of 10,000 rpm scsi ultra-2 drives that I will have on a card (the motherboard's onboard scsi is the old big kind, and the bios doesn't have an option to boot off a card so they will be my storage). Since I will have 10k drives as my storage, noise is not a factor. The 2gb is scsi and actualy has slightly better seek time and such, according to the specs. What would you use?

Also, what are the proper names of the scsi interfaces, the old kind and the new smaller kind? :p

i'd go with the 10gb/

I'm thinking the 10gb

[Yuriman]

Yea... well I was thinking 10gb too, but I could use it for storage if I don't have windows on it. I suppose I will install windows on it too, and compare the 2.

[Kevin007]

sounds like a good idea, I'd try it.

[Yuriman]

Well, I have run into a problem. Do you have to do anything special to make a pc recognise an xbox hard drive? I thought they were identical to pc hard drives.

[Kevin007]

I never thought that, I thought they were custom made or something like that.

[Yuriman]

Alright, this is no good.

To unlock your XBox hard drive.... "If your Xbox is broken or if for any other reason you want to unlock your Xbox HD on your PC ... you can use this method ... but you will still need the hdd password." I don't have my hard drive's password.

bummer, would they let you?
