    The interface is Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and not SATA or IDE so I assume it won't work...

    Actually it is SATA, Its a SCSI interface that uses SATA connectors. Hence the name SAS Drives (Serial Attached SCSI) serial is the Sata interface. (Serial ATA drives i.e. SATA)

    I hope you realize that we have gone over this subject many times.

    ALL 10k+ rpm 2.5" drives are NOT for notebooks.

    They were designed and sold for slimline servers/workstations. Thats it.
