What is a SAS hard drive?
RAID-configured Serial Attached SCSI hard drives are complex storage arrays used in Enterprise servers like Dell PowerEdge and HP ProLiant. SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drive has outstanding Input/Output performance which provides ultra-fast data access.
SAS hard drives are very quick and efficient when it comes to data transfer. However, it is evident that the ultra-fast transfer process is sometimes prone to petty errors or corruption. Here is an example of a scenario that a user faced.
User Query: I have two SAS drives from a dead server that wouldn't start. Drives presumably are healthy. I need to get back a shared folder that has some important data in it. How can I recover the data from the SAS hard drive? I didn't realize that they were SAS drives until I bought the SATA to USB dock and realized that it was not going to work. I am not able to find anything SAS to USB. Not even SAS to SATA .... which ultimately to USB with a second adapter. Essentially I just need to know how would I recover data from a SAS drive which I can transfer to my own computer. Can someone shed some light, please?
