AmigaTwo
What's this AmigaTwo bullcrap? There are no Amiga machines, real or inspired, that have incremental or versions in the name. It's meant to be a word, not a number. This crap has been going on for ten years and it's starting to drag.

SCSI box from the back of my Amiga1200
That would require a SCSI card in your PC which is rare and do they even exist anymore? I've seen SCSI-to-USB converters which may be easier if they work. But most likely the drive would be IDE from an AmigaOne or even SATA. In any case didn't Windows used to erase the RDB and stick an MBR on it? It did years ago when Amithlon was popular. The RDB had to be shifted a couple of blocks over.

No problems and everything works with no changes to the files or attributes.
It works as long as you use UAE to do it as it understands those bits and stores them on the host in a special file so you don't lose them. Or directly in an image. But, depending on the filesystem, it may not understand FFS2 or SFS.
I once broke my AmigaOne CPU, it didn't happen again. And I wanted to get access to all my files. So I plugged its drive into my A4000 IDE slot, For the most part, it didn't understand the modern filesystems in use, so it wasn't very helpful. I don't know if I had a PC at the time but I didn't test to see if UAE could understand it.

So why do it complicated when it can be done easy.
For a large amount of GB data pulling the drive out and doing it over "sneaker net" may be the best way aside from Amiga bits. I find any kind of network transfer to be slow. Sub USB2 speed transfer isn't fun to watch.
