Funny enough I bought a SATA drive from an e-tailer new as a spare and when I went to open it up months later realized that they had mistakenly shipped me a SAS drive of the same capacity (18TB). So it’s well beyond the return / exchange period despite the shipping error. I have equipment to run it but it kind of threw a fork in my plans because I was going to get rid of said equipment. All for that $300 spare drive.
