0662? (Spitfire) and DFHS are not recommended if you plan to sit next to the machine. There running loud, hot and are power hogs. Same with DFRS to avoid like the plague
Today's reading from the Oracle of Lemgo, Peter the Wendt, goes
thusly-
DFHS -
Use them externally in an enclosure with
sufficient room and additional fans with enough airflow in length
over the drives. IBM made pretty bad first series DFHS. They
were hot, loud and had problems with the internal controller
microcode as well as with the surface coating which leads to
"sudden death".
There were "active cooled" 5.25" bays - which
have two of these noisy "trouser button" fans ... which (in
theory) should keep the drives cool enough. Practice shows, that
these thingies are only nerving loud and fail occasionally (like
CPU fans - they are similarly lousy). DFHS are -like the Quantum
Atlas II and III- intended for servers which supply active
cooling. Parts of the DFHS heat up to 95C
The older DFHS series 1 (the "Fat Ones") get really hot - and are not recommended. Towards the end of the series the drives get better.
DFRS
Keep away from DFRS - they are "refurbished" (hence -R-) DFHS that
had been sent back for repair and returned to the spares cycle.
These "refreshed" drives have a large black stripe on the barcode
label with white "RE" in it atop. They are second choice.I had
three of them - all are dead in the meantime."
> My tip, try to get DCAS, DDRS or even DNES drives and
try to get a
fast/wide (corvette) controller.
DDRS
7.200 rpm version of the DCAS. They're 7.200rpm - but don't make
much noise. The DDRS finally was the 3rd generation drive (after
DFHS and DCHS) where they learned to handle the problems. I have 7
of them in my Server 520 (DDRS-34560 UW, some LVD) along with 2 x
DCHS and 2 x Quantum Atlas. The DDRS is available as 50, 68 and 80
pin version. For
the Server 95A "non Array" with F/W "Corvette" I would pick the
68-pin version and tailorize an appropriate SCSI 68-pin cable. The
DDRS superseded the DCHS, which superseded the DFHS.
DNES
The follow-up to the DDRS was the DNES, which is a good 7.200rpm
drive and viable at ebay in masses. Short-lived because 10.000 rpm
DRVS came out. The DNES ran parallel with he DRVS for some time.
DCAS
Not a bad drive - but a 5.400 rpm type. The DCAS was designed for
desktops / workstations rather than servers. But they were
suitable for smaller servers as well - especially when they were
"power-wise and thermally challenged" (mean: small power supply
and bad internal ventilation). The DCAS runs pretty cool - only
topped by its successor DORS. The DCAS is a nice, fast and
low-noise drive.
DORS
5.400 rpm rated 5V/300mA and 12V/200mA, which makes a total of a
lousy 4Watts .....It is my favorite desktop drive in old PS/2s (56
/ 57, 76 / 77) *because of* its low power consumption.
DPES
"Pegasus" drive is a 5.400 rpm drive designed for desktops. It has
about 50% lower current draw and -therefore- runs significantly
cooler than the DCHS. With the introduction of the DSAS and DPES
series IBM returned to other conceptions of the R/W-amplifiers and
different screening of the drive. These are rock-solid general
purpose drives, which need no special treatment."
