Yes, you can get an adapter to 68 pin scsi for about $20.00 on ebay and then plug it into an adaptec 68 pin scsi card U320 is faster)<br />
<br />
I have seen 80 pin external raid boxes that will plug in USB however, they may not be the best idea for data recovery.<br />
<br />
Also, If the drive won't identify once you get it connected to a 68 pin card. make sure the cable you use is terminated properly.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps,<br />

I am trying to recover data from an IBM xseries 206 hard drive, it is a scsi U320 drive. I wanted to get an adapter to convert to USB so I can recover the data, but I am not familiar with this type of connection. &nbsp;Are their adapters available for this?

Data recovery from a SCSI U320 drive

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
