  • This is all assuming it’s a spinning disk and not an SSD, so ignore me if that’s the case:

    Given SAS drives are usually used in data centre storage array applications and 3TB disks have been kinda small for that use case for a fair while, there’s a fairly high chance it was in heavy use for a good number of years. I’d bet it’s probably well on its way to being a paperweight regardless of your connectivity situation.

    If you do get it hooked up, don’t store anything on it you wouldn’t be okay losing.













  • If your GPU has two power connectors you should always use two runs from the PSU.

    You only have to ask yourself why they would bother with the second connector if it was okay to just attach a little extension to the end of a single cable.

    Some cards may run fine with this setup, but you’re going to be increasing fire risk by potentially running more amps down a wire than is safe to.
