lol found that on ebay for a much better price https://www.ebay.com/itm/LSI-Logic-SCSI-LVD-SE-Controller-PCI-Express-x4-LSI20320IE-439946-001-Tested/142155949051?epid=1524610697&hash=item211927a3fb:g:i8UAAOSwHsRYCbli&frcectupt=true

yeah man, they all look like iomegal or something ones from late 90s/ early 2000s

What SCSI version are the drives? If you don't know, post a model number or drive label and a pic of the port.

You'll need a SCSI controller, IDE won't work as SCSI uses an expanded command set which IDE doesn't support.

Best bet is to find a cheap PCIe SCSI adapter and a cable to host the drives on a machine to wipe them. Older SCSI is dated tech, but the controllers will still run you 50-150 ea, even for the old stuff. If this is out of the question, put a bullet through them or take them apart with a hammer.

DO pay attention to these controllers! Most of them are PCI-x not PCI-e because they were mostly for server boards from 90's to late 00's vintage. The link below is for an LSI PCIe card which will probably work for you if you have U320 SCSI drives. You'll have to add a ribbon cable AND the SCSI terminator for each unused port, AND have your drives addressed in the controller. SCSI is nowhere near as simple as SAS/SATA/IDE. Much of the drive/controller/cabling in SCSI requires setup on the controller firmware to address the drive.

I'm looking around for a USB to SCSI adapter but they are extremely rare and expensive.
