This is bizarre. SATA and SAS use the same cabling,
Sometimes true, sometimes not.
I have a Sun server X4275 which has a mixture of SATA and SAS drives in it.
No problem.
Later I bought an Oracle server X4270 (yes, the later model has a lower
number, go figure.) It has only SAS drives, and the connector is different.
Can you describe the connector? And is it on the drives, or on a
backplane?
In my case the socket on the drive has a bit of plastic that prevents an
ordinary SATA cable from plugging in. The drives are Seagates. It does
look to me like a cable connector could be constructed that would work in
both types of drives, but none of the various SATA cables I have are so
constructed.
