Quote from HonestStranger809 :
"For SAS, the two connector segments (power and data) were merged, which makes it possible to attach a SATA drive to a SAS controller using the continuous(SAS) connector known as a SFF-8482 connector, but you cannot hook up a SAS hard drive to a SATA controller."

Guess that's a no go? Was hoping there are "reverse HBA card"
You buy a SAS breakout cable which has SATA power plug passthrough on the rear.

If you have a space available for a PCIE card you will be able to slot an adapter in.
Fyi for others. The SAS card wasn't compatible with my mobo. I bought the one everyone recommend. When slotted pc refused to boot. Obviously YMMV ended up with a pcie to 10 sata port.

I'm hoping that this is a good sign and the price of HDDs will go back to what they were at Q3 of last year, got a 12TB Sata for $74.99

Not just get a HBA controller, I suggest by on in IT mode or flash your controller to IT mode and let the drives just pass through. Never had an issue this route.

Realistically, no. You could hack something together but by the time you do so you're going to spend far more than if you'd just bought SATA drives in the first place.
$10 SAS controller THAT expensive ???

Looks like stocking up last summer when the deals were hot was a great idea

Progress. I bought 5x of the 12tb for $80 last time these were on sale in around November. Prices are coming down which is good!

Oh man. Got me excited for a minute as I too had been waiting for another good 16TB+ sale. Came right here when I saw the email alert, but missed SAS in the title.

I can't do SAS in my servers, so the wait continues!
I have 2x 24bay sas enclosures
