it probably runs as root… all things considered…

no worries! 🙂

crossing my fingers for you while we wait 😄

No worries, however I cannot see the SATA marking on yours, just the SAS, or perhaps I am blind, changed contact model today…but please double check before ordering.

And yes, Dell does not manufacture hard drives, so it’s almost 100% a OEM rebranding.

if however, it is this drive it should support SATA

you can, if you read my edited post, as long as the SATA logo is present on the label of the sas drive

as mentioned in the description of the product

there is cheap controllers as well btw:

lots of cheap electronics for all your needs over there :)

sorry if I misunderstood, but wasn’t his drive sas, and he needed to go to sata connections? this does that.

sas hdd => sata controller connetions

the converter is not the culprit, the drive needs a sata logo on the label for it to work the other way, which is mentioned on the sales page.

if the drive had that logo or not is not mentioned as far as I can see

(edit, thought it was OP replying at first, so changed that, and added requirements for the adapter)

Haven’t tried it myself, but there is cheap converters available on AliExpress:

Might be worth it to avoid using it as a paperweight?
