I have an old 1GB IBM 45G9467 hard drive, and would like to get some files from it, wipe it, and and then sell it. Its value is about $~200. Unfortunately, it uses a 50-pin SCSI interface similar to IDE, but not IDE. I did try plugging in just the power (it takes 4-pin Molex/Peripheral) and it didn't make any noise. Would it not having a SCSI controller impact its activity and noise output, or is it dead and mostly worthless?
Before you ask, I tried connecting it to the motherboard that it came from. It did not power on. Most likely the power supply is dead, and I can't use a modern one because it takes a weird 12-pin broken into 2 6-pins.
I have found converters from 50-pin internal SCSI to IDE on Amazon, but they are $~500.
Thanks!
