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!

The search brings up these scary words. It says you are 100% fucked.
At the same time, I see those cheap ass converters on Amazon >.> I have never tried one.
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
Ya maybe I’ll sit this one out 😁
Thanks! Yeah looks like it’s only the other way around.
Just sell it on or cancel.
