LORDWORLD SATA to SAS Adapter SFF-8482 2.5/3.5

SKU CH-X0Q0-9JTVW

Converts SFF-8482 SAS hard disks to SATA for 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives using a built-in chip, no RAID card required

  • Use SAS drives on a standard SATA motherboard without a RAID card
  • Built-in converter chip enables direct SAS-to-SATA connection
  • Supports 2.5 and 3.5 inch SFF-8482 SAS hard disks only
  • Works with Windows 7, 10, 11 and Linux operating systems
  • SMART data may be incomplete after conversion but read/write unaffected

SATA to SAS adapter for SFF-8482 drives

This adapter connects SFF-8482 SAS hard disks to a standard motherboard SATA port. A built-in chip handles the conversion so a SAS RAID card is not required. It suits users who want to run enterprise SAS storage on a regular desktop or server board.

Check drive type and host connection before ordering

Only SFF-8482 SAS drives are supported; SFF-8639 U.2 drives will not work. The host must provide a native SATA port; USB enclosures or cables are not recommended because the USB controller may cause incompatibility. Compatible operating systems include Windows 7, 10, 11 and Linux.

Compact PCB with direct SATA connector

The small board plugs straight into the motherboard SATA header and the drive SFF-8482 port, avoiding extra cables. After conversion, SMART data from the SAS drive may appear incomplete or missing, although normal read and write operation is unaffected.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need any extra cables to connect a 2.5 or 3.5 inch SFF-8482 SAS drive to a motherboard SATA port?

The adapter itself is supplied. It plugs directly between the SFF-8482 SAS drive and a standard motherboard SATA connector, so no separate SAS RAID card or additional cables are required.

Which drive connector versions does this adapter support and which are excluded?

It supports only SFF-8482 SAS hard disks in 2.5 and 3.5 inch form factors. SFF-8639 U.2 drives are not supported.

What does the built-in chip actually do when the adapter is installed in a Windows 10 or Linux system?

The chip translates the SAS protocol to SATA so the drive appears as a normal SATA device. SMART data may be incomplete or missing, but read and write performance is unaffected.
