SFF-8482 to SATA adapter cable

This adapter cable connects a SAS hard disk with an SFF-8482 connector to a motherboard SATA data port while providing a separate 15-pin power connection. It is intended for builders who want to use a compatible SAS drive on a standard SATA interface without a dedicated controller. The .5 m copper conductor supports 6 Gbit/s SATA3 signalling.

Sustained-load behaviour

The cable carries the native SATA3 6 Gbit/s data rate and relies on the drive and host controller for error handling during extended transfers. No active circuitry or signal conditioning is present, so performance under sustained load matches the limits of the attached SATA3 device and motherboard port. Cable length is kept short to minimise signal degradation.

Installation notes

Connect the SFF-8482 plug to the SAS drive, the SATA data plug to the motherboard, and the 15-pin power lead to a PSU SATA power cable. The motherboard must be set to AHCI mode and the SAS drive must carry the SATA logo; otherwise the drive will not be recognised. This adapter cannot make a non-SATA-labelled SAS drive work on a standard SATA motherboard.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 15PIN power port draw when the cable runs all day?

The cable itself is passive copper and draws no power; only the attached SAS drive consumes power through the 15PIN connector.

What must my motherboard provide for this .5 m adapter to work?

A motherboard SATA port that is explicitly labelled SAS and set to AHCI mode, plus a standard SATA power cable from the PSU.

Will this let me keep using my older SATA‑only motherboard with a SAS drive?

No — the supplier states this cable cannot connect a SAS hard disk to a normal SATA motherboard; the board must have a SAS‑labelled SATA port.
