I bought some hard drives from FB marketplace, and the post not saying they were SAS drives or even showing that much they had the Dell caddys on them, went and drove 30 minutes to buy them. 2x 4 TB for $40, i had my head up my butt salivating at the deal so I didn't look any closer

I realized they were SAS and i was like "Oh, i could just buy an adapter and it'll be fine"

It was not fine. I learned you can use SATA drives in a SAS back-plane but not reversed. So I decided to just put it into my homelab but that doesnt support SAS either.

Any advice? Thank you very much!
