If I get it up and running ^^ !

Thanks! Crossing my fingers 😁

Ha ha thanks!

I’ll get the converter, I’ll let you know how it pans out, and a huge thank you!!

Connot have too many computers!

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.

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 😁

Ha ha yes my home is filled with unsuspectedly good stuff from aliexpress 😅

That’s exactly what I’d like to find, but you cannot, it seems, connect a SAS disk to a SATA slot on the mobo, only the other way around, with this adapter.

The comments also seems to say exactly that (you have to put 4 or 5 stars to comment, so that’s a useless measure, gotta read those translated comments).

Ya maybe I’ll sit this one out 😁

Yep spinning rust.

Wanted a scratch disk to aggregate all my sensitive information thats scattered and duplicated on smaller disks and thumb drives. Would probably keep it as an ultimate backup too (I got a real backup).

My thinking was that usually those disks are swapped out after 5 years when failure rates starts to creep up, but there’s still is some life left, largely enough for some fun.

Good idea, but what am I going to do with my thinkcentres 😁

I don’t know where you live but I got the drive for 30€ including shipping, a new drive is over 100€…

The link in Sanctus post says its SAS to SATA but the other way around doesn’t work for cheap converters 😞

Ha ha thanks I guess 😁

American?

Here in europe there is no such differences.

On ebay.fr they are like the price of the drive (around 25€ with shipping) :-(

Thanks! Yeah looks like it’s only the other way around.
