Accepted Answer

This product is not intended to be used with a SCSI hard drive.

This is a very nice mobile rack. It will support both SAS and SATA drives. However, SCSI, IDE, ATA and ST506 type interfaces are something different and I would not expect this to work without modification.

In short, the connector on this Mobile Rack is designed to accept/mate with a SATA or a SAS connector on a hard drive. SCSI has a very different connector. The modification required would include changing the connector to one that would mate as well as providing a way to connect it to your SCSI controller. This kind of modification may be possible, but is beyond the ability of most end users.
