allowed to read or write SFF-8482 29Pin SAS HDD in SATA port of cheaper normal motherboard or External USB SATA ^^ Sintech SAS to SATA Card convert SAS as normal SATA, it can be read in USB SATA cable, but we can't sure all USB SATA can work, we recommend to use it in normal motherboard SATA port.
^^ NOTICE1: Some old motherboard need to upgrade montherboard first then can work with this card.
^^ NOTICE2: There is 3 types of
SAS HDD sector: 512/520/528, Sintech card only support SAS HDD with sector type 512.
^^ NOTICE3: Because SAS HDD was used in Server, there is a lot of encryption and protection detection, recognition will be 10-20 seconds slower than regular SATA HDD after powered on.
