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!

    Well sometimes it can, it seems.

    I’ll try to be back and tell :-)

      No, they can’t. You need a SAS controller for a SAS drive, there is no way around it

        Check out y0dins post below, there are SAS drives with SATA compatibility it seems.
