There are two systems on the market for adding hard drives to a
Z80.  One is by Ampro which implements SCSI for $180 including software,
requiring any SCSI card at the other end.

The other is by Emerald Microware which does SASI for $50 including s/w,
requiring a Western Digital card at the other end.

I have one of the Ampro and three of the Emerald as well as a
home-brew SCSI.  All work fine.
