FC to SATA or USB conversion help !!

[Lord Vader]

Good day everyone !

After 1 week of search I am here,

First of would like to thank any and all help on this topic,

I am new to servers,
As I am building for my business,

I realized it may be easier for me to be able to access my Fiber Channel Hard drives with my PC or Laptop, whenever needed.

After tons of research, it's a million different opinions, that are out of date.

If anyone can please, tell me accurately and precisely, what kind of connection is on this drive ? SAS ? SCSI ? Etc etc etc.

I counted 40,
20 bottom 20 top of connection piece.
Please take a look at pictures.

I have seen tons of adaptors,
Everyone says theirs fit....

Even eyeballing and counting,
A blind man can tell it would not.

Thank you everyone,

This is for a Animal Rescue Center,
Timing is imperative.

Thanks

You have identified the problem.
You can not interface a drive by the connector alone.
What is needed is the full specs of the drive itself. These are not fully visible in the first photo. The drive maker can tell you what sort of interface is needed.

Please show a photo of the drive label with all the details.

Looks like fibre channel to me, looking up the full model number of the drive would confirm if this is the case.  Unfortunately it is not easy if even possible to connect an FC drive over USB.  Do you still have the original server as this would be by far the easiest way to access the data?
