I have two questions...
I recently came accross a lot of SCSI/IDE hard drives from work... in a dumpster, what a shame! So I scooped up about 80 pounds worth of these suckers, and now... I need to test them!
I have an IDE to USB adapter, and was thinking of getting a SCSI to USB adapter (any good, yes, no?). Can I plug the drives in via USB and still run the manufacturer's drive utilities? It's USB2.0 as well.
Also, are there any programs to benchmark/test hard-drives? I know at work we use a RAID test program that fills the drive up at top speed, anything like that available for home use?
