How many hard drives you have in that beast? I see enough ribbon cable to wrap a gift

Old story: There was a sale at a big box Electronics store on Seagate Barracuda SCSI-2 Wide 9.1GB drives and I bought 6 of them to give me a 40GB RAID-5 on an old mylex dac960 scsi raid card. Bigtime storage in 1999.

Those fed my 3:1 ratio mp3 sharing site that my uunet bot advertised haha.

That's insane I absolutely love it. To put that in perspective, 1999 game storage requirements:

  • GTA 2, 70 MB
  • Quake III Arena, 70 MB
  • SimCity 3000, 230 MB
  • Everquest, 1 GB
