You will still need a SAS capable controller on the other end of that sata cable.

In the old days, a SAS HBA could also speak SATA protocol, so to speak, but a SATA controller was not capable of doing the same with SAS. NIce to know this now works the other way around as well!
Thanks for the info!
EDIT: Apparently this still holds true, you still need a controller that will handle SAS drives.

do not buy a HBA with a LSI 2008 based HBA as they do not support 4kn drives.

If you are building a larger server, you may want to consider SAS over SATA.
It is easier...and seems to have fewer Gremlins ...if you are working with SAS
