pls help
i am a SCSI virgin
i need to know how to connect 2x old scsi hdds 50 pin to a 68-pin VHDCI external connector.. what cables and converters do i need?Best method is a drive duplicator. I had to use a drive duplicator to duplicate scsi drives before for operating systems that were unable to have clone software added to.
Its costly, but my employer fetched the bill for this at my last job and it WORKS perfect. It comes with adapters for pin conversions too and cables. BUT its expensive at $495

There are cheaper methods to doing this but more involved and not as guaranteed to work as flawlessly as the duplicator. A linux based system could DD one drive to the other, and on newegg you can get 50 to 68 pin converters etc.

Thanks on the duplication part. what about the

i need to do this to do image resizing for known HDD images etc.I will mostly be using Acronis SUITE of software for this since my office bough a license.
SORRY about wrong link in last post. Clipboard didnt update so when i pasted link you got same link as first link I linked. Here is an adapter for 68 to 50. You will want to verify you want a double female or a different combination. Lots of adapters out there.

The ones that i have are a breadboard type with jumpers similar to this one... http://www.ramelectronics.net/460i2cn80mf.aspx ... but because your not dealing with 80 pin, the one from ebay shoudl do the trick as long as its female to female that you need to force 68 to 50 etc.
