It's A Digital Disease!

As the title says I recently picked up a Seagate EXOS 14TB 3.5" SAS HDD ST14000NM0288 Hard Drive but when I tried to connect it to my drive dock it didn't fit. Long story short I found out that SAS drives exist and they don't fit SATA docks. Unfortunately, I bought it online and though I plan to contact the seller to see if I can return it, that might not be guaranteed. In the meantime I was wondering if I could get some help seeing if there was an economical way to use the drive on my Windows 10 PC. I've seen some adapters that look to just be male to female put my Youtube search indicates that they might not work. Apparently, I might need a controller or something. Would appreciate any help turning this purchase from a brick.
