SAS drive adapter for SATA controllers

This Aomoproing cable lets you attach a SAS hard drive to a motherboard or RAID controller that presents a SATA port but supports the SAS protocol. The SFF-8482 connector on the drive side mates with the combined data and power interface found on enterprise SAS disks. A separate 7 inch Molex 4 pin lead supplies the necessary power. It also functions as a standard SATA data and power cable for regular SATA drives.

Replaces a missing SAS backplane or HBA

Use this adapter when you have a SAS drive but your host only offers SATA connectors that are wired for SAS signalling. The jump is worth it if the controller explicitly states SAS drive support; without that support the drive will not be recognised. It does not add SAS capability to a SATA only controller and will not work with drives that require a full SAS wide port or dual port connection.

Simple plug in with one common pitfall

Installation is a matter of seating the SFF-8482 end onto the drive, the SATA 7 pin end onto the host port and the Molex plug into a power supply lead. The most frequent issue is connecting to a SATA port that lacks SAS support, which results in the drive not appearing in BIOS or the operating system. Verify the controller documentation for SAS drive compatibility before assuming the cable is faulty.

Questions about this item

Will the 7-inch Molex power cable reach from my PSU to the SAS drive inside the case?

The power lead is 7 inches long, so it suits builds where the PSU Molex connector sits close to the drive bay.

Do I need a special controller to use this SFF-8482 cable with a SATA port?

The host side plugs into a standard SATA 7-pin port, but the controller must explicitly support SAS drives for the SAS device to function.

Can I keep using this adapter if I later swap the SAS drive for a SATA SSD?

Yes, the same SFF-8482 to SATA cable works with SATA drives as well, so no replacement is needed when changing drive types.
