  • Dedicated power port supplies reliable power for high-performance drives
  • Supports SAS and SATA HDDs or SSDs for flexible storage arrays
  • Compact plug-and-play design works with Windows, Linux and RAID controllers

SAS adapter for RAID storage

This SMUGDESK adapter converts an SFF8482 29pin SAS interface to a standard 7+15 22pin SATA connection for hard disk drives. An integrated SAS controller chipset provides stable signal transmission compatible with RAID configurations. A dedicated power port supplies sufficient current for high-performance SAS and SATA drives. The compact PCB design supports plug-and-play installation on Windows and Linux systems.

Suited for server expansion, not consumer builds

System builders expanding enterprise storage arrays or configuring RAID backups in server chassis will benefit from the controller chipset and independent power delivery. Industrial storage integrators requiring reliable SAS-to-SATA conversion for mixed drive deployments are also well served. Home users adding a single desktop drive or builders without a SAS host port should look elsewhere, as the adapter requires a native SAS connection and serves no purpose on standard consumer motherboards.

Handles mixed RAID arrays, limited by host port

The adapter comfortably handles multiple SAS and SATA hard drives configured in RAID arrays where the host controller presents an SFF8482 29pin port. It runs out of headroom when the host cannot supply adequate power through the dedicated port or when the backplane lacks the physical 29pin SAS interface required for connection.

Questions about this item

What type of host interface must my controller provide for this SFF8482 29pin adapter?

Your RAID controller or HBA needs an SFF8482 29pin SAS port; the adapter plugs directly into that connector.

Can I keep using my existing SATA hard drives with this SAS 29pin to 22pin SATA adapter?

Yes, the builtin SAS controller chipset supports both SAS HDDs and SATA HDDs or SSDs on the 7+15pin SATA side.

How do I verify the independent power port is delivering power after I connect a drive?

The drive should spin up and appear in the RAID BIOS or operating system; no separate LED is mentioned for the power port.
