Just one more thing.
What is strange is that the temperature rises and the fans speed up,
but after a restart the problem goes away for a week o

There are many such adapters. Usually from the drive to a 2 x 25 = 50 pin
header.

All SCSI-II and SCSI-III wide drives are supposed to be backward
compatible, but may require a jumper to be set differently. I have
several adapters that convert the 80pin SCA drives to be able to use
both the 50pin, or 68pin cables. With SCSI, the slowest drive, or
