SCSI Hard Drive Question

Apr 25, 2019 4:35AM PDT

Hello,

I have a few Seagate Cheetah hard drives with the 80 pin female SCSI attachment that I'd like to use for recording & storage.

Is there an 80 pin SCSI to USB adapter cable anyone would know of fairly inexpensive?........or perhaps there is another option of connecting these drives to a Mac Pro &/or Power Mac G5.

Thanx~!

Most of these were small and old HDDs.

I can get 2TB USB 3.0 drives for 99USD or less and any USB to SCSI was costing that much. If price is an issue, sell off these old drives for your new USB 3.0 HDDs.
