they a have a 36gb and 73gb 15k rpm drive and a 140gb 10k rpm drive that unfortunately is a scsi sas interface but im wondering if it would work with a scsi to sata connector...
Got a tip for us?

if its 12 then maybe i can shave the botttom down on the savvio to 12 so it could fit, if it was possible how awesome would a 15k rpm drive be?
ummm no its not a joke if i was joking around why would i be asking if it was possible... ive shaved the bottome of a 3.5inch seagate down 2 mm to fit in to a case ive also shortened a drives length to fit... i own a machine mill
Those drives are for servers..
lol.. give it a whirl and let us know how it turns out.
Or just get an SSD and get better performance without the headache.

The MBP has not got the voltage/amps to start these drives.Someone tested with the Raptor 300Gb 10K but it would not start on a laptop. Desktops are OK as the power supplies are rather beefy!. You probably can say bye-bye to those savvios..
Go for cheaper SSDs and stack a few together with a sata port multiplier board to get the speed you want. It is easier to "stack and solder" sometimes.

Fair enough. i just didnt realise that kind of thing would be possible.
Be interested to know how you get on with this this little mission
