Just be aware everyone, these are SAS drives not SATA, so no use in standard consumer grade NAS devices or PC's without a SAS controller. In case anyone glossed over the description and didn't notice.
·
Those adapters only changes the interface used, not the protocol used to communicate between the controller and the Drive.
You will still need a SAS capable controller on the other end of that sata cable.
·
The price is really good. However, this HDD has a 5-year warranty but you'll have to RMA it through the seller (if they even honor it) instead of direct to Toshiba. Not sure I would trust this seller in 2 years.

SAS to SATA adapter is like $8 on AMZN
Nice to know, guess I've been stuck in enterprise IT for so long that I haven't kept up on the consumer stuff as much heh.

In the old days, a SAS HBA could also speak SATA protocol, so to speak, but a SATA controller was not capable of doing the same with SAS. NIce to know this now works the other way around as well!

Thanks for the info!

EDIT: Apparently this still holds true, you still need a controller that will handle SAS drives.

SAS HBAs are dirt cheap. you'll need at the very least a LSI 2308 (or 3008) based HBA, and you can get them for under $100 on ebay. also, you'll need these cables:

do not buy a HBA with a LSI 2008 based HBA as they do not support 4kn drives.

I won't lie, I bought another 9 more of these drives for my disk array. Last time I bought one, just to see and after everything worked out I dove in to upgrade my storage.

I'm well aware, and happy to take the chance. I've had great luck with my Toshiba drives. Plus, the pool is setup with 2 hot spares, in case one of the drives starts to act up.

Yes..you may need an adapter for SATA...but yes.

If you are building a larger server, you may want to consider SAS over SATA.

It is easier...and seems to have fewer Gremlins ...if you are working with SAS
