Booted up a Apple Mac SE/30 for first time in years

So it started up ok few days ago, but hard drive is not running, can't hear it going.
Managed to find a System 7.5 start-up disk though and I can get to the desktop, only very, very slowly. Is there a way to check if HD is running and can you get scsi HDs anymore?

Only know a little bit about macs so can't be of much help there, but you can still get scsi drives - link here >

Now at least you'll be able to get one and connect it up, then install the os onto it.

This takes me back a bit. I remember scsi drives very well.
