gollark: Ah, apparently you can connect SATA drives to SAS controllers, but not the other way round.
gollark: I'm pretty sure SATA and SAS are different things, but there's a way to use SATA disks with SAS devices or something?

gollark: WD external hard drives go to 16TB or so and are surprisingly cheap, and you can pull out the disk and use it as an internal one.
