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!

    SAS drives need a SAS controller. That can either be an adapter that you connect to a SATA port, or something topological bigger, such as a RAID controller. Both can be found relatively cheap.
