Hey, I have a friend that blew some cash on some fast storage hardware.

For starters, he got the Seagate Cheetah X15 ST336752LC which is 36.7GB and runs at 15,000RPM. It has an 80-pin SCA interface.

Now he needs a controller, so he bought the Adaptec 19160 u160 SCSI controller, which has one 68-pin connector for LVD SCSI and one 50-pin for Ultra SCSI.

Obviously you can see the problem at hand. I have a 80-pin drive and a 68 or 50-pin controller. Here's what I told him to do but I don't know if I'm right:

I told him to buy a typical 68-pin cable and an adapter that converts 68-pin to 80-pin. Will this work? It doesn't sound like it does, but there are so many denominations of SCSI, I really don't know. I don't use it

help
