Hello,

Bought a spare super cheap used 3TB drive a year ago, and just figured out it’s not a SATA but a SAS drive.

How fucked am I? What can I do more than using it as a paperweight?

Cheers!

    You can adapt SATA drives to an SAS controller, but you cannot adapt SAS drives to a SATA controller.

      Yeah I’m gonna put my chips on the side of “these 8 dollar converters won’t work”

      But maybe OP is brave idk
