    Do you guys use Bitlocker on your home/Personal machines?

    So is it true you can plug SATA drives into SAS connectors?

    (DEAD) Seagate 12TB $82

    I have bought probably 30 drives from goharddrives and they have always replaced a drive that has gone bad. I have two 10 drive NAS's going and they are all from this company. Had 3 drives go bad and they honored them. Now running 20 of their drives and no issues at all.
