RE: New with SGI = Need some help!
Hi there! Congrats on a seriously nice trash find! SCSI2SD might work with adaptors, but you won't have a good time with it. I personally would suggest getting regular old hard drives for them.

The Octane uses a drive sled and old 80 pin SCA drives. It's very different from the 50 pin connector on scsi2sd and a faster connection too! The Octane sleds can be 3d printed. There is an early version on Thingiverse, but I know someone has a better version with the handle and everything. Ian Mapleson's website has a list of good choices for Octane drive, which can be ebay'd for a reasonable price.

As for the Fuel, I don't have one! I wish I did Smile It also uses a later SCSI revision. It's likely you'll want a regular drive for it as well. I don't think it uses a drive sled at least. Both of these machines can run regular platter drives faster than the supported bandwidth on scsi2sd. Good luck, and keep us updated!
