I have a cheetah hard drive model number ST173404LCV. My problem is, I need to know what kind of ribbon does this hard drive take? It does not take the standard ribbon.

cheetahs are SCSI drives. you'll need a SCSI adapter card along with a new cable.

If the drive is used or discarded, you should just shelve it. A SCSI card will cost you at least $150. The cable costs another $25.

For all that, you will likely get a drive that's slower than a Raptor and much harder to configure. It will be noisier too.
