After completing a long-running refurbish of a Mac Classic, and installing a BlueSCSI, I realised that Solid State hard drive replacements can cause an empty feeling inside. The enjoyment of the usage is diminished without the familiar scratching sound of head/platter!
Have about 10 SCSI HDDs, most are the Quantum Prodrive of various types, and all of them bar one in a running machine are kaput:
-4x Spin up, and then quickly spin down after the first 5 seconds
-3x Sound like they are full of rocks
-3x don't boot at all
Got a couple of the IDE-based PCI machines et. al, however, hoping someone will chime in with a mechanical HDD solution for anything with a SCSI bus. Perhaps some sort of IDE HDD -> SCSI interface converter? A mythical modern supplier of old SCSI-compatible mechanical drives?
