Good day everyone !

After 1 week of search I am here,

First of would like to thank any and all help on this topic,

I am new to servers,
As I am building for my business,

I realized it may be easier for me to be able to access my Fiber Channel Hard drives with my PC or Laptop, whenever needed.

After tons of research, it's a million different opinions, that are out of date.

If anyone can please, tell me accurately and precisely, what kind of connection is on this drive ? SAS ? SCSI ? Etc etc etc.

I counted 40,
20 bottom 20 top of connection piece.
Please take a look at pictures.

I have seen tons of adaptors,
Everyone says theirs fit....

Even eyeballing and counting,
A blind man can tell it would not.

Thank you everyone,

This is for a Animal Rescue Center,
Timing is imperative.

Thanks

Img 8004 is a SCSI II MALE connector(aka has wire pins), typical of Hot Swapping server devices. Most server hot-swap devices ARE scsi.

SCSI comes in (gulp) three variations
  1. scsi-1 the original
  2. scsi-11,
  3. scsi-111
see these descriptions
 
Hi and thank you for the response,

I still can't figure out which one it is,

Simple because they all have atleast 50 pins or 68, I counted this over and over again.

40 total, acutually like you said " wires "
Not actually pins, ribbon wires.

I took this apart hopefully, we can solve this mystery together.

Thank you all in advance !

P.s. If the " Gulp " was for Vader,
That's a clever one. Totally missed it till now .
