So I occidentally purchased a fibre channel HDD from Ebay (i had no idea what FC was, i assumed it was SATA or IDE) and i was wondering if there is anyway i can attach my hard drive to my desktop to use as a normal had drive?
I received 2 because one was faulty and now i just realised there is no easy way to convert FC to SATA. I looked up this question and it brought me to a segate guide (http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/194055en?language=en-us)
which was hard to follow and i have a Hitachi drive, so i was confused to as if this would work .

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone is wondering what model brand etc here is where i bought it from (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/222463685896)

Yes that link is SATA to FC, not FC to SATA..
Also i included the exact segate link in my post and said that it was hard to follow (I couldn't find the right products)

 
that was just a example of an adapter you can use...there is a FC to SATA out there but it is really hard to find....as for the seagate link i apologize for that i was going for another link in ebay...but i think you already got my point.
