2017年9月30日 · Give it to a computer recycling place and ask for a used SATA drive or USB External Drive in return. It can't be that big of a drive if it is just laying around and SAS. I'm guessing 300 GB or less. A SATA of comparable size will be simpler and cost next to nothing.

2015年10月18日 · SAS, is Serial Attached SCSI - and there ARE SCSI USB adaptors available - or were - although the last time I looked. they were hard to find, and were fairly expensive. Essentially, these are a USB to SCSI protocol converter, plus a PARRALLEL SCSI physical, electrical interface - either a narrow, or wide SCSI.

I'm in the process of hooking up a SAS hdd to a SATA USB controller with UASP protocol. Just waiting for the USB SATA UASP adapter to arrive. Theoretically, UASP protocol can handle SCSI over USB. UASP = "USB Attached SCSI Protocol" The only issue is that under Windows 7 and 8.1, the HDD must come with UASP drivers for it to work.

2014年8月10日 · If you want to do networking over a single USB cable, you will have to use the kind of host-to-host cable which predates USB 3.0. This kind of cable looks like a host-to-device connection to the computer at each end and the regular USB networking software stacks of each machine will talk to their own ends happily.

2015年12月10日 · A 3.5" drive requires both 5v and 12v, wheras 2.5" drives only need 5v. USB only supplies 5v. USB adapters/enclosures for 3.5" drives have a separate 12v input in addition to the 5v, which can be supllied by the USB bus or by the power supply, in which case the PSU is supplying both voltages.

Is SpinRite compatible with USB and Firewire devices? The best answer to this is a firm "maybe". DOS device drivers are available for most USB and Firewire controllers. If such drivers are added to a DOS boot diskette so that your USB or Firewire drive is "seen" by DOS, SpinRite will also be able to "see" and operate with it.

2011年12月3日 · Probably you wanted to ask if your SAS controller/hba on motherboard is compatible with VmWare ESX - that you'll have to check with vmware. If it's LSI based then it's natively supported in ESX. If you talk about VmWare workstation any controller/hba that has drivers for Windows/Linux will work. Since you asked "How to use a SAS Expander":

2023年3月10日 · I have a USB flash drive that's almost always plugged in. I need to synchronize the contents of a folder on my hard drive with the contents of the flash drive, so that on the rare occasion of me unplugging the flash drive, the flash drive's contents match the current contents of the folder. How do I do that?

The original protocol used to connect an external drive via USB did not include a mechanism to extract the S.M.A.R.T. data. In other words, there was no way for the software to extract S.M.A.R.T. data. There was no way it could ask for it. Changing the "mass storage USB attachment protocol" ...

I've been transferring about 5TB from a USB 3.0 enclosure with built in hardware RAID running 4x SATA III drives. The destination is an external SAS enclosure (7x SATA II) with 2x SAS cables connected to PERC 6 card.
