SATA is a subset of SAS and SAS has a SATA compatibility mode built into it as well. You could set your whole structure for SAS and use SATA where necessary and it would work just fine.

Thanks alot! Then i did not need an additional adapter ;)

2:57 - These "HP" drives look like HGST Helioseal Ultrastar drives (owned by Western Digital, whose name is also on the lower part of the label). This is also confirmed by the model number of e.g. the left drive (WUH721818...), which is completelty fitting the HGST Helioseal drives, except for the first letter, which is W instead of H. U = Ultrastar, H = Helioseal, 72 = 7200 rpm. 18 = raw capacity, 18 = available capacity... I personally am a big fan of these drives. They are very reliable and by many datacenters used.

Hey Thanks alot! That makes sense. Yea the drives was bought from a very high end local Company that uses the disks for windmills, they hard these they did not need so i Got to buy then cheap

SATA drives are compatible with SAS connections, you can't use SAS on SATA plugs, but you can use SATA on SAS.

Hey man, you might take just one disk and convert to STORJ, but do not convert all at once. Because it takes a very long time to fill up your disks with STORJ, you only get data when there is data on the network. You make about 1,5 usd pr. Tb that is actually filled up

Hi, I started off like you, using a single SAS to 4 SATA cables. But ever since I found this adaptor on the chinese taobao site, it was a superb option. Basically, this link im sharing with u is a 12 hdd cage that has a backplane (SAS/SATA), and the backplane, u can simply use a single miniSAS cable to SFF 8047 to ur LSI adaptor. And boom! 1 cable to 12 HDD which reduces the cable mess. There is also a 6 pin port, the seller will provide u with a 4x molex to a single 6 pin port to power all 12 hard drives. I have been using it for months and works like a charm. Will share the link with u if i can

Good setup. But, how much time needed to fill up 164TB with storj? I think, possibly never. There is was a huge data deletion at the last month. My node with 12TB space running 22 month and it's filled only at the 8TB for now. I have good internet connection and online up to 99%, good disk speed, but ingress is to low and periodical deletions is too big. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Or node location is no good.

PS you can get x4 NVME PCI-E x16 Slot Cards pretty cheaply if you wanna use that other x16 slot as long as you can bificate the slot into x4x4x4x4 for each nvme drive on the card.
