I believe you will find that it will work but it will operate at the slow rate

HP surestore RAID device requires scsi-2  wide differential controller. My question is will it accept SCSI -3 differential controller?

Maybe you should modify your question?  I'm confused as to exactly what you are asking.

Going by your last comment, the answer is no.  SCSI-3 differential (Low Voltage Differential) is different than SCSI-2 differential.  You can't mix and match them.

So you still need to use the correct SCSI-2 differential controller (and they are very expensive).
As long as the device is not an HVD(high voltage differential) you should be ok.
SE, LVD and SE/LVD devices will work with that controller.

Unless your equip is old devices in the modern PC environment are no HVD
