where to get old hard drives?
My hard drive died today. Fortunately I was backed up for the important stuff,
but there are many less-important files I'd like to recover.
I have heard that if a hard drive's problem is the controller and not the
mechanism, sometimes you can swap the controller board from an identical drive
and recover your data.
It's a Quantum Viking II 9 GB LVD SCSI, (40 MB/sec SCSI transfer rate). Can
anyone give me a clue where I might find one? Used would be OK, even with a
dead mechanism if the controller board were OK.
Thanks,
Mike
