Hi all,
I'm in the process of putting together a machine and need advice on cables to attach SAS drives to the motherboard. I've never worked with SAS before, but I've got a motherboard that supports it and was gifted 11 SAS drives, and I want to make use of them. I've got two questions:
1. I've purchased the X10SL7-F which has a built-in SAS controller but with what looks like SATA connectors. Am I right in assuming I need these cables from AliExpress to connect it to a SAS drive?

2. If I buy a Dell H310 controller for even more drives, what cables do I need for those? Something like this? What I'm confused about is how I can attach the power to the SAS drives. Can I plug this into a drive alongside a power cable, and it'll work fine?
