A cheap way to test one SAS drive when fail with this connector and a SAS controller intern, cables.
Here is my update video on this topic and a better way to build out a test station in 2023: • OK, so you asked so here is everything you... A cheap way to test just one SAS drive at a time. this connector that run about $10 to $13 in cost, will allow you to hook up a failing SAS drive from a RAID group or storage pool and be able to test it on your local system by providing it with a SAS/SATA rated SAS controller. The motherboard is not rated to support SAS drives (unless a server mainboard with SAS controllers on board.). Just buy a HBA or SAS/SATA rated I/O controller for $25.00/$35.00 off of Ebay to allow you to test single SAS drives using your PC system. Thanks to Ronald Fadrigo as asking for more detail for this video. Keep enjoying and the learning! related sites: For the SAS connector to 15 pin power $13.00 https://www.newegg.com/p/0ZF-00EK-000... For the SAS/SATA controller best to look at Ebay. Avoid RAID controllers if possible.. Enjoy!
