SAS

Hi, everyone. I recently bought four 2 TB hard drives at a flea market, but when I got home, I realized they had a SAS interface, not SATA. I know I need to buy an IT-mode HBA controller with cables for them to work. Is it worth buying the controller and installing it in my home lab to use them for storage, or should I just resell them? (It’s worth noting that I have another SAS-compatible computer and that I’ve tested each of the drives: they all worked fine. The four drives have less than 5,000 hours of use, which surprises me, and they have no reallocated sectors.)
