My boss gave me an IBM 01EJ598 (1.92TB enterprise SAS 12Gb/s read-intensive SSD in the full Storwize V5000 hot-swap tray) for free because they were decommissioning old storage gear.
Can I get some use out of it for shit like hosting movies / seeding or it's basically a fancy paperweight?
t. only have a have a normal consumer desktop. I don't have a server, SAS controller, etc, etc... that is apparently required to run this.

you need a special motherboard to do anything with SAS. You can go on amazon and buy a USB "enclosure" for it for 100 bucks.

Find a cheap SAS HBA second hand. It's a card that goes in your PC. Your boss might have an old one one stashed somewhere, they're pretty common.
