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, if you read my edited post, as long as the SATA logo is present on the label of the sas drive

    as mentioned in the description of the product

      Thank you!

      Mine is suspiciously looking like yours 😁 but Dell, and without the sticker…

      Is it just a Dell rebranded Seagate? I mean Dell doesn’t make drives right? And the serial takes me right to segate drives who are compatible s-ata.

      Guess I’ll gamble a couple of € to see 😁
