SMUGDESK SFF-8482 SAS to SATA Adapter Cable with 15PIN Power Port

SKU CH-Y51M-TBWXZ

Connects enterprise SAS drives to standard SATA ports with a separate 15-pin power connector for reliable operation

  • Connect enterprise SAS drives to standard SATA motherboards via SFF-8482 conversion
  • Independent 15PIN power port supplies stable voltage for 2.5 and 3.5 inch SAS HDDs
  • High-purity copper conductors reduce signal loss and electromagnetic interference during data transfer
  • Precision molded connectors ensure tight fit preventing loose connections inside chassis
  • Plug and play design enables drive testing data recovery and storage expansion without drivers

SAS to SATA adapter with 15-pin power

This SFF-8482 SAS to SATA adapter cable connects enterprise SAS hard drives to standard SATA motherboard ports. It provides a dedicated 15-pin power port to supply stable voltage for 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives. High-purity copper conductors and gold-plated contacts reduce signal loss and resist oxidation. The plug-and-play design requires no drivers for immediate use.

Replaces direct SAS controller cards

This cable replaces the need for a dedicated SAS controller card or server backplane when accessing SAS drives. It is worth using when you have spare SATA ports and a separate SATA power source available. The jump makes sense for data recovery, hardware testing or repurposing enterprise drives on a desktop platform. It does not suit builds requiring native SAS command queuing or dual-port redundancy.

Handles 2.5 and 3.5 inch enterprise drives

The adapter comfortably handles 2.5 and 3.5 inch enterprise SAS hard drives for sequential read and write workloads. It runs out when the workload demands full dual-port SAS protocol features or multipath I/O capability. The single SATA data lane limits throughput to the SATA interface maximum rather than the drive's native SAS speed. Buyers needing hot-plug support or expander connectivity cannot use this cable.

Questions about this item

What motherboard port does the SFF-8482 connector plug into?

The SFF-8482 end attaches to the SAS hard drive; the opposite end plugs into a standard SATA data port on the motherboard.

How do I connect power to a 3.5 SAS drive with this cable?

Attach a standard SATA power cable from your PSU to the independent 15PIN power port on the adapter.

Which parts wear out first and need replacement?

Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation, but repeated insertion cycles can eventually loosen the molded connector fit.
