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!

I’ve seen SAS-SATA adapters for sale online. I got a 120GB used SAS, and it’s cheaper to buy another drive than to order the adapter.
Those adapters only work for plugging SATA drives into SAS controllers. You can’t use an adapter to plug a SAS drive into a SATA port
Well sometimes it can, it seems.
I’ll try to be back and tell :-)
