Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

I bought a 15.36TB SSD SAMSUNG PM1633A SAS MZ-ILS15TA DELL EMC MZ1LS15THMLS-000D4

I am trying to figure out what to buy in order to connect it to my desktop PC via PCIE. Is this a viable or recommended solution?

Thank you! I just ordered both https://www.ebay.com/itm/195918369621 and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GPD5KFK

The SAS 15 Pin Power Port on the cables gets their power from the LSI card?

The ebay seller showed hdd data and I think? it is excellent. Almost new? https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/wV0AAOSwClZkMcGx/s-l9999.jpg

The end of the cable attaching to each drive needs to receive a SATA power cable, just like a standard SATA drive would need.
