So I have home PC I built and I found a cheap deal on a used sas ssd on ebay. I have now bought a sas controller but my controller has a wide mini sas connector and the drive is using the original sas SFF-8482 connector. So how do I connect these together? The controller came with a wide mini sas to mini sas cable. The only way to connect my controller to my drive I could find are to buy an 8 port backplane or to buy a mini sas coupler but that couple costs $30 which is more than I even paid for this sas controller. I don't suppose a mini sas connector can just be plugged into the middle of the wide mini sas connector and actually work? pic related
