It’s a 2.5” SAS drive. They’re usually used in servers and typically spin a lot faster than consumer SATA drives. You won’t be able to use it in your PC unless you buy an HBA card and some adapters.
thank you :))
do you know why SAS HBAs are so expensive ? 🥲 is it possible to get a cheap one ?
I got a used 8 port card from ebay for about $20 a few years ago. I had to flash different firmware to it using a DOS boot disk to disable raid though. It's an obsolete card, but it's been working fine in my NAS.
I'll try to look some more then :))
