    common SATA adapters that support SAS?

    Anyone know of common SATA controllers that support SAS? Perhaps all I'd need is one of those SATA-SAS adapters and one of these controllers?

    Else will I have to get a SAS backplane and dedicated SAS card and all to access a SAS disk?

    Wondering about how I can use this one 146GB 15K RPM SAS disk I have. Disk was free, if infrastructure will cost $ARM$LEG then I may well just put the disk in the trash (or wait until someday I get a machine with a SAS backplane...)

      Nope, it won't work. You need a SAS controller.
      Ebay and get an SSD instead.

          Thought most don't but there are some that do.
          Need a way to prove that the drive works... it *should* work but ...well, you know...

              A SAS controller can deal with SATA drives and SAS but a SATA controller can't talk to SAS drives.

                  ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING - M.2_2 port not working correctly with SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD
                  by DynaxSC
                  Hi,

                  I have an really very weired issue with ASUS ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING.

                  Some NVME (PCIe) SSD's are not working correctly in the second M.2 socket. An example of it is the SAMSUNG SSD980 1TB NVME SSD.
                  Some other NVME (I have only smaller ones) disk do work without any problem, also SAMSUNG disks, eg an MZVPV128HDGM-0000.

                  The behaviour is also really very strange, i.e.:
                  • The disk shows always up in BIOS - so it is recognized, so far so good
                  • POST-ing with this disk with fresh Windows 24H2 installation (done in the M.2_1 socket) in the M.2_2 socket
                  ...

                  Intel iMacs, 3rd party SSD failures and Fusion setups
                  by reformatt
                  I thought I'd throw out some of my personal experiences in the last 12 months with Intel iMacs, 2.5" SATA SSD drives and Fusion drive data recoveries.

                  As a backgrounder, Apple never fitted a 2.5" SSD's to these iMacs. Apple's SSD option was a system of 32GB NVMe blade drive (NGFF connector) and Seagate 1TB 2.5" HDD, married together in software to become a Fusion drive. Non Fusion systems have just the 1TB Seagate HDD.

                  So, the most common reason an iMac comes across my bench is because it's either ridiculously slow, or it fails to boot at all. The most...

                  GIGABYTE X299 AORUS ULTRA GAMING - SATA PORTS 4-7 NOT WORKING ???
                  by DynaxSC
                  Hi,

                  I have the above mentioned bord after repair, which was related to a lot of missing smd devices on the back of the board.
                  There were almost 20 devices missing, caps, resistors and some diodes/mosfets.
                  The board is generally working now, all PCIe ports are working, Windows installs normally.

                  However I have a problem with SATA ports 4-7 (the board has 8 SATA ports) - disks are not beeing recognized by the BIOS neither by Windows (which is usually normal in case BIOS does not recognize them).
                  The SATA 4-7 driver network is quite simple chipset<->buffers/drivers<->SATA...

                  Lenovo 11e problems (any sata hdds are not recognized, sleep battery drain)
                  by clabr
                  Need help to solve some problems with this laptop.

                  After working in bed with it one night and heating up too much (probably the cause of this problems) the sata HDD OS windows froze
                  After restart the original Sata HDD was not recognized anymore (but works fine in other laptops or PCs)

                  Tried connecting other good Sata 2.5 HDDs but not one is working in this laptop anymore (not the original nor others)

                  Before this had happened I observed some other problems:
                  When I tried replacing original mecanical HDD with a SSD HDD could not get them...
