Fervit 29Pin SFF-8482 SAS to USB 3.0 5Gbps Adapter

SKU CH-WRTE-G49JY

Connects SFF-8482 SAS hard disks to USB 3.0 ports with a built-in bridge chip, supports 5 Gbps throughput and requires a separate 12 V 3 A power supply

  • Connect SAS drives to USB computers without a RAID card using the built-in chipset
  • Achieve up to 5Gbps throughput on USB 3.0, ten times faster than USB 2.0
  • Works with Windows 7, 10, 11 and Linux for broad system compatibility
  • Supports SAS and SATA speeds of 6.0, 3.0 and 1.5Gbps on SFF-8482 drives only
  • Requires a separate 12V 3A DC 5.5×2.1mm power supply not included in the package

29-Pin SFF-8482 SAS Adapter

This Fervit adapter connects a 29-pin SFF-8482 SAS hard disk to a USB 3.0 port on a standard computer. It removes the need for a dedicated SAS RAID card. The device supports Windows 7, 10, 11 and Linux operating systems for direct read and write access.

USB 3.0 5Gbps Throughput Limit

The adapter delivers up to 5Gbps throughput with a USB 3.0 host and drive, which is ten times the speed of USB 2.0. It handles SAS and SATA link rates of 6.0, 3.0 and 1.5Gbps, but the USB 3.0 bus caps the maximum transfer rate at 5Gbps. SMART data may appear incomplete after conversion.

External 12V Power Requirement

A separate 12V 3A power supply with a 5.5mm by 2.1mm DC plug is mandatory and not included. The adapter only accepts SFF-8482 SAS disks and explicitly excludes SFF-8639 U.2 drives. The built-in chip manages the protocol translation for everyday drive access.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 29-pin SFF-8482 version or another connector for my drive?

This adapter only works with 29-pin SFF-8482 SAS hard disks. It does not support SFF-8639 U.2 drives, so match the connector on your drive before buying.

What does the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 rating mean when I connect a SAS drive?

The adapter links the drive to a USB 3.0 port at up to 5 Gbps. The SAS side handles 6.0, 3.0 and 1.5 Gbps, but the USB link caps real-world throughput at 5 Gbps.

Does the USB 3.0 interface limit the 6 Gbps SAS speed?

Yes. The built-in chip bridges SAS at 6.0, 3.0 or 1.5 Gbps to a USB 3.0 host, so the 5 Gbps USB ceiling becomes the practical maximum transfer rate.
