SCSI on my Mac Mini?

I have a friend who offered to sell me a SCSI Glyph RAID Array drive. was wondering how I could go about hooking it up to my mini? Any tips or links would be great!

Mac Mini 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6)

They make both USB to SCSI and FireWire to SCSI converters. Google either to find sources close to you. I never heard of doing this, so I have no idea whether the speeds involved would be helpful to you.

The SCSI converters I've seen either don't support hard drives at all or aren't good at it, so I'd suggest you pass on that SCSI RAID. You may not be able to get it to work at all, and if you do won't get anywhere near the performance out of it that you'd expect from a RAID and it may not be reliable.

Regards.
