I have no experience with SCA - 68 pin adapters.  However, a caveat on the SCA
drives.  If they are available at a very good price, be sure they have not
been removed from a system.  Some IT departments have a policy of replacing
drives once they have reached their MTBF even if they are still working.  The
drives that have been pulled are then sold on the surplus market.  You do get
a functinal drive, but its longevity is not predictable.
