Lynx simply pointed out that you're looking at SCSI drives, not PATA/SATA.
You'll need a good quality SCSI host card to run the drive.
It's worth noting as well that the first drives you linked to are "pulls", almost certainly used parts from servers (whose drives are typically replaced on a timetable, irrespective of condition).
Unless you invest in a reasonable host card (and don't forget the cables- SCSI cables are expensive too), your performance could be worse than a SATA II drive.

Lol, the most I have seen this drive go for is $1000 at newegg. That is messed up pricing.Originally Posted by Skizo

Foxcon got taken off the list now and Spartan Technologies is selling this drive for about $150 more than them, I wonder if they are legit too, lol.

Condition = PULL ??? What does this mean? "Pull" a fast one on a sucker?
Mfg. Warranty Period: None !!! HMMMM (I'm guessing none = no vasoline)

it means that it is used- it was pulled from another computer. Considering what kind of drive it is, it was probably a server drive, which are usually replaced according to a schedule, before they fail. It still works, so they are selling it used.
