SAS connector = 4x SATA automatically?

So I've been looking at server board and I often see some of them having a SAS connector. Base on my previous experience with SAS (Dell Perc6i), I can connect a SAS-to-4xSATA cable so I can use normal drives.

Is this true for all SAS connectors or perhaps these are limited to certain connectors/controllers like the one on the Perc6i?

Thanks! 🙂
 
Pretty much, that is what lots of people have been doing if they want more storage drives.
*edit
Oh, forgot to mention that you may have to flash the card in question to support this mode.

Yes, SAS is compatible with SATA but not the other way around. You only need to flash cards if you want to change it from a RAID controller to an HBA (or the other way around if it was previously flashed).
