Converting SCSI to Solid State for Macs
Just some quick notes on preserving your Macs by converting SCSI to solid state storage.
My particular focus is converting SCSI to SD as that’s the most cost effective way, based on all the cables, adapters and converters needed. There are options other than these (AEC-7720U or direct SCSI to SSD) but they are all much more expensive.
