SCSI hard drive for my laptop possible?
I came upon a Seagate Cheetah 10K.7 Ultra320 SCSI hard drive. I would like to make it into an external HDD for my laptop. Is it possible? If so, what do I need to buy to make the hookup possible?
It's an ST3146707LC 146GB.
It seems like such a waste to not use it...
How about a SCSI PCMCIA card? Though when I google it, it seems the connectors don't match. My HDD has an 80-pin connector, but google results show this large external centronic-like connector. Is there a way around that (e.g. an adapter)?

If you can find one, it's going to be expensive and pointless. That drive you've got is probably tiny, 100GB if even, and all it's speedyness will be lost when you plug it into USB. All the headaches of SCSI with none of the benefits. Yay.

Nobody I am aware of provides a External SCSI HDD enclosure which will connect to the standard connectors on a laptop (such as USB!).
So I think not. I may be wrong, but googled it, ebayed it, ebuyer'd it, and can't find it!
