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 learned the hard way when the cheap PSU blew up and took with it the mobo, my drive and my backup drive. That was the year 2000 or 2001.

    Since then I do have a good backup strategy (with most important stuff on amazon glacier).

    So you learned the hard way losing your porn stash 😉 ?

    Jk, and the drive is not for important stuff.

      PSU you is the other part you don’t want to cheap out on… Guess you got two lessons in one there.
