They will be mounted internally to an Intel S2600cp server board.
I'm just looking for the best and least expensive SAS adapters that I can use to connect these drives to this server board.
I will be setting these up as individual drives and will not be implementing RAID.

Also do you need or require RAID?
Amazon has a range of 6g SAS RAID and non RAID SAS/SATA controller cards.
You'll most likely need the SAS cabling as well.

Ahh gotcha. I missed the post by probably seconds! :) Let me see what I can come up with.

Wakeup,
I purchased the cheap PCI adapter from Amazon.
Please see my other question Cable adapter needed to connect SAS hard drives to "YK838 - RAID Controller PCI-E SAS 2-Channel SAS6/IR PowerEdge R510 Dell" PCI adapter to let me know what kind of cable adapter I need to purchase for this controller card.

When you say Adapters and if you mean internal drives, you will be unable to convert SAS drives to SATA. You will certainly need a SAS controller.
Otherwise the option is to get external SAS enclosures that have a built in controller and make them external and connect via USB.
Please provide a little more information and we can go forward.
