NEED HELP, Storage Compatabillity

[cso1337]

I have a Dell Poweredge with x6 2TB 7200rpm hdds, they're WD Black, would it work if i put one or 2 of these into my main pc for extra storage? I know that like ECC Ram cant be used in gaming rigs so is that the type of thing thats going on here or is it all the same

yes, any SATA storage device will be usable as normal in a different PC.

Ok, thank you, also they're configured in a RAID0 config i believe, can i just yeet one out of the server and throw it in while in that configuration or will it mess up main pc (i dont care about server i have nothing on it so i can reset whenever)

Also i just took a caddy out and on it it says " Enterprise storage" is that still ok? also, it is SATA, but there is also a 8pin on it, is that just optional for the server? or unneseccary or whats up with that

The raid array will be lost when you remove one drive, but once it's removed it can just be formatted as a normal hard drive and so can the other one.

The 8 pin on hard drives is the old format for slave and master jumpers, which are obsolete these days. Your PC won't have anything for that. "Enterprise" is just the fanciness of the drive, since WD Black is the more expensive line for the big boys. Still, it works the exact same way as the WD blues at the budget end.

Enterprise storage, consumer storage, as long as it is sata, it will work
