Posted January 17, 2023 You can't do that. They're different protocols. If you want to use the SCSI drive, get a SCSI card for it.

I do believe adapters exist for that specific reason - https://www.amazon.com/Fincos-Pin-IDE-Converter-Adapter/dp/B07RNGDTF5 I could be wrong, though, I'm not sure how any of that works.

That's not SCSI though, thats IDE 50 pin to IDE 40 pin. WILL NOT WORK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
