I assume the opposite is not true? ie. That a SAS disk can talk SATA?
I'd think not. But IDK.
It would actually make my job easier if I could use a SATA controller
to talk to a SAS drive, but that seems unlikely?
Try googling for the standards body that draws up the SAS standard. You
may find some official info or forums there. Maybe do a site:xyz.org
search on the SATA standards body for SAS.
FYI: I do a lot of forensic imaging. Basically removing drives from
random computers, hooking them up to mine and doing a dd capture of
the full drive. Have not dealt with a SAS drive yet.
Maybe you should get an SAS controller? I don't know. We do have a
server fitted with SATA drives providing a SCSI hardware RAID-5 array.
It's probably of this type as it comes in two configurations, SAS and
SATA. I assumed they were different cards, but perhaps not.
