I recently picked up a GSS Technologies Ultradrive 80 external SCSI hard drive to use with my compact Macs. I've never used an external SCSI HD before. The HD in the enclosure made horrible noises the first couple times I powered it up, then it finally spun up. After a bunch of tries I got it to mount once -- it was still full of some families files from the early 90's -- and then, not surprisingly, it never mounted again. I was expecting this, and had only bought the thing for the enclosure with plans on replacing the drive. I have a good 2 good 50 pin SCSI HDs (a 40 Mb and a 2 GB) and a SCSI2SD that I could put into it. My question is, can I just swap the drive out? Or is there something I need to do to get the thing working properly... I think I would prefer using the SCSI2 SD in it.
