Vintage Seagate ST-51080A IDE hard drive 1083 MB. 11ms, 128K cache Early, Classic Seagate Medalist hard drive. sn: PB495943
Great choice for a 90's period-accurate retro system.
Nice size because it is within capacity limits of certain early vintage BIOS and O/S.
Purchased directly from Seagate distribution for computer production.
Was removed by our service dept decades ago during a routine upgrade and has been in protected storage since.
These drives had relatively little use — we had an aggressive upgrade program so most drives were upgraded after only 12 to 24 months and have been stored undisturbed for decades.
After all these years, this drive booted right up to the original Windows 95.
Drive has been completely wiped (to delete customer data) and reformatted.
MS-DOS 6.22 freshly installed.
Plenty of room for Windows, if you choose.
Scandisk full surface scan shows zero errors (see screenshot).
Chkdsk shows zero bad sectors (see screenshot).
Should boot right up in any compatible system.
To boot as configured, be sure the drive parameters are set to: CHS = 2100/16/63 (should be auto-detected by most BIOS).
Clean, NEAR MINT condition.
You will receive exactly the item you see in the photos.
Shipped via USPS with full tracking from a USPS regional SCF (Sectional Center Facility) so delivery anywhere within the U.S. is only a few days away (excluding the occasional USPS misdirect).
RETURNS: • Sold with 30 Day Warranty — If the drive fails or a serious defect not in the listing is found within 30 days of purchase, I will stand behind the product. • Please contact me with details of any issue so we can resolve the problem or work out an appropriate solution. • I will provide a reasonable amount of technical assistance if you have questions concerning the configuration or proper use of the item.
