Transtec 5012


I just got a Transtec 5012 for free. After installing a server for a customer he ask if I would like to have his Transtec 5012 including 12 disks of 250gb. And I said yes.

The Transtec 5012 is a 5 year old 12 disk pata array that needs to be connected to a scsi control of a computer. I also got the scsi controller (adaptec 29160). Did a quick test and only 1 drive is failing. So this weekend I will configure it using RAID 5.
