Hey all,
We have some 15k RPM SAS drives that came out of a Dell Server where I work and we're not going to do anything with them other than eWaste them, so I was thinking about just taking them home. The drives are perfectly operational, we just upgraded to a larger datastore.
However, my PC at home doesn't have any built-in SAS capability that I know of. I see that you can buy SAS controller cards. Has anybody ever done this? Will this work? I remember hearing somewhere that some SAS controller cards are actually just SATA in disguise and you won't be able to utilize the simultaneous read/write capabilities that make SAS so great.
Am I only dreaming...or is this burning an eternal flame?
