Can someone recommend good SAS to SATA adapter/connector/converter for me ?. I have got some SAS Drives that needs just to copy out data.
Thanks.

There is no SAS to SATA adapter, you will need SAS controller card.

Can you recommend one ? Also I keep seeing some SAS to SATA on eBay, what are those for ?

Those are cable converters, there is different cables from controller.
When I arrive in the office I will tell you exact model of my card.

I use this one LSI 3042E-R 4-port SAS card.
It is HBA and work well with Windows and Linux. You can use any software to make a image or copy data.

I found this one SAS Write Blocker looks nice https://www.digitalintelligence.com/pro ... e_blocker/

I use the HighPoint RocketRaid series and have been very happy with those cards, you can get them used on eBay for pretty cheap.
