asked on how to connect SAS drives.
I need to know the trick on how to connect SAS drives. I have an Intel S5000VSA MB. with SAS. The SAS ports on the board and cables look just like SATA which is fine. The HDD which is a Seagate Cheetah drive has the same SATA and power as a normal SATA drive except there is a bridge so the two connectors are 1. So I can't plug in the traditional SATA/SAS cable. So I am wondering is there an adapter that would allow me to plug the SAS drive directly into the motherboard and then power into the drive? Just like a normal SATA drive.
