Attaching SCSI drive through USB

    I have a number of wide, 68-pin SCSI drives for which I need to copy the data off. I have tried to use a wide-to-narrow SCSI adapter (68-pin to 50-pin) coupled with an Adaptec SCSI-to-USB adapter (50-pin to USB).

    I'm also powering the drive via a Molex power source. The drives do spin up (loudly) but I'm not seeing any recognition from my Ubuntu OS.

    Running lsusb I see at least my Adaptec device:

    Bus 002 Device 010: ID 03f3:2002 Adaptec, Inc. USB2-Xchange

    And dmesg also seems to log this device:

    [62101.160439] usb 2-1.4: new high-speed USB device number 10 using ehci-pci
[62101.252777] usb 2-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=03f3, idProduct=2002
[62101.252787] usb 2-1.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0

    Is there anything I can adjust or do to try and get these drives recognized, either with the equipment I have, or with something else?

    I have a bricked SCSI hard drive that I need to replace. It has a SAS interface Model ST373455SS

    Can I replace it with this one Model ST373455LC that has an Ultra320 interface?

    Serial attached scsi (SAS) and Ultra320 are not compatiple. They don't have the same interface according to this article
