SCSI to SATA or IDE adapter for USB2 enclosure?

[Order]

Do these exist?

There are adaptors that allow you to put ide and atapi devices on a scsi but I don't know of any that go the other way.

Generally because ide and usb more so are so much slow then scsi it doesn't make since to put a scsi device on a ide bus.

There was an Adaptec SCSI to USB device some time ago, and Iomega made one for the Jaz drive but they were USB 1.1 only and only supported SCSI-2 devices.

SCSI is parallel, has a much higher throughput and supports up to 255 commands. USB is serial and can only support 1 command. Firewire is parallel but is still limited to 1 command at a time.

I have not seen any modern SCSI to USB devices but there are SCSI to firewire towers for CD drives on eBay.

The SCSI to IDE adaptors DO exist but are buggy as Hell. Best case scenario you have periodic data corruption reading or writing to the drive, worst case it fries the drive and/or IDE controller.

Thanks, guys.
I'll just wait until I build my new system.
