Borrow SCSI to USB or SCSI to Sata?

[Nemesis379]

Has anyone got a SCSI to USB or Sata cable, I can't seem to find one and I don't want to fork out £100+ to buy one just to transfer some data.

The model I have is 36.4GB 15000 rpm wide U320.

Thanks in advance.

LOL, mate it's not about a cable. SCSI is a bus and your drive needs to be connected to SCSI controller to read data from it. Which means you need an U320 card (like PCIe card), hence the price. Cables are usually simply 2 sockets + some wires which means few pounds, but here you've got much more. The fastest way is to ask disk owner for such card, or borrow him own SATA/USB drive to transfer data as U320 is not popular standard here

^^ USB SCSI interfaces exist but they (were/are) ridiculously expensive not checked what the prices are at the moment but last time I checked it was like £400+ so doubt anyone is going to lend one :S
