Those drives are certainly SCSI, as well as macs they were fitted in various portable Unix workstations from Tadpole, IBM  and RDI amongst others. Though by modern standards the drives are very small, the largest one made was 1.2 gig. Various workstations came with larger discs but these were actually ide disc with a very small ide to scsi adapter boards attached under the drive.
The interface is a variation on the scsi 2 standard so all that is required is one of the adapters mentioned previously.

I must ask for the small size and requirement of additionally adapter is it really worth it?
