I am not a server guy. I have few external hard disks lying around. Googling around I found those are SAS drives. I want to convert it into an external hard drive for personal use (I'm planning to connect it to the router that has USB 3.0 ). How to connect these drives to the router through USB or ethernet? Any help would be welcome. The hard disk is in the image.

Give it to a computer recycling place and ask for a used SATA drive or USB External Drive in return. It can't be that big of a drive if it is just laying around and SAS. I'm guessing 300 GB or less. A SATA of comparable size will be simpler and cost next to nothing. As @JourneymanGeek mentioned, it is near impossible to do what you want without a full on workstation used to provide an external interface or some rube Goldberg mechanism.

Startech make a $30 drive bay to turn anything into SATA, ie load SAS drive in the front and takes standard SATA out the back. That will speak fluent PC. Then you can do SATA to USB 3.0. Crazy I know, but very doable despite what all the muffins have said. No judgement on whether you really want to be doing this and for what cost.

Give it to a computer recycling place and ask for a used SATA drive or USB External Drive in return. It can't be that big of a drive if it is just laying around and SAS. I'm guessing 300 GB or less. A SATA of comparable size will be simpler and cost next to nothing. As @JourneymanGeek mentioned, it is near impossible to do what you want without a full on workstation used to provide an external interface or some rube Goldberg mechanism.
