Hi,
I have a Seagate EXOS 7E8 ST8000NM0085.
I would like to be able to test this drive to see if it is working.
I know it is a SAS drive, not SATA.
I have found out there are several SAS versions of connectors.
This drive, I think has SAS3, not I am very not sure.
I have been googling but can't find the proper cable and adapter card for this drive.
The connector has pinpads on the upper side of the connector between the traditional lower pinpad data and power connectors.
Could some of you a lot smarter then me people point me to the right cable and adapter card that Win10/11 can use for this drive?
I do not need top of the line or fastest, just something to test with in Windows.
Many thanks !!
