How to connect an Ultra3 SCSI hard drive via USB?

Solved

Hello,
I have retrieved a Fujitsu hard drive that operates on Ultra3 SCSI (according to the internet), and I would like to connect it to my laptop for use, as it seems to be 3 terabytes, but I only have USB ports.
Can a SCSI drive be installed on a laptop, or better yet, can an Ultra3 SCSI hard drive be connected to a USB port?
Thank you

    Hi,

    You mean 3GB, right?

    These are very old connectors, and specific adapters are needed... However, it will never be 3TB. They are the ancestors of the "SATA" connectors... and 3TB only came with SATA/SAS connectors.

      Where could I find this kind of adapter?
      And on the label of the disk, it says "3T," so I thought it was 3 TB.
      Thank you.

        In specialized stores.

        Do you have a picture of the hard drive to be sure of its connector? But, "3T" I doubt it could be 3 Terabytes, especially with that type of connector... the controllers didn't even manage more than 500GB at that time...

        I think it's a bulky and very expensive USB key for being compatible.

        It has 37GB in terms of capacity.

        It's indeed an UltraSCSI 80-pin connector, but considering the price it will cost you and the complexity of implementing it... It would be cheaper to buy a USB key ;-)
