Default For Sale Compaq External 35/70 GB DLT drive

Before I put it on Ebay does anyone want an external Compaq Scsi DLT tape drive for some serious backups it will do 35GB native and around 70GB compressed fully working I have switched to using an SDLT drive now

You will need a SCSI adapter for you pc and a suitable cable

£35 plus postage at cost or come and collect it, I haven't taken a pic of mine but it is similar to this one I pinched off the web

Hi Keith.

Can you confirm the (physical) size of the drive itself?

ie. Would it fit in a double 5.25" bay?

Also, what's on the back of the drive (not the case), LVD type connector?

I will double check tomorrow are you after an internal drive then?

I also have a effectively brand new VS80 which fits a single 5.25" slot but they normally fetch a good price on flea bay

Problem I find with selling some IT kit on Ebay is you often ending paying more to the post office for postage than you actually get for the item and frankly when that happens I just lose interest in doing it again!

I have a Compaq T1500 XR UPS that will be going down the dump and an Compaq ML370 G1 server which will probably go the same way even though these things cost a small fortune when I first bought them for clients

Do you run any Compaq servers? as I have all sorts of odd memory chips several gigs in fact for the ML570G1 models

Yeah, bit limited on room!

In the office we've got one Compaq server left, 1998 bios date, running as an NT4 domain controller and looks after Exchange 5.5 for about 100 employees. Their firm is separating from ours 31st March hence we didn't move them over to AD. The Compaq server is a P2/266 or something very similar with 256mb ram and hasn't been turned off since the day it was bought. Processes around 5,000 emails a day and hasn't let us down, EVER. Amazing. However, the 25 or so other servers we've got are all Dell! (3yr next day on site warranty for £99+vat, unbeatable)

Was after a cheap (and robust!) drive for home/personal use, hence my Q's. Watching some VS80/160 drives atm as we use them in the office so I know they're bullet proof too
