I am planning to build a DIY DAS with external USB-C connection to host, just like some solutions out there, for example the IcyBox IB-3810-C31

I know the way to go for data integrity is SATA/SAS controller/HBA, but USB-C is enough for my needs (JBOD with 1-2 simultaneous read access to mkv files, no writes at all).

I have a spare SilverStone DS380B with its 8-bay hotswap backplane, along with a SilverStone SFX 500W Gold power supply. I plan to power on the system with a Supermicro CSE-PTJBOD card, with power output for the 3x120mm fans I have installed in the case.

But I cannot find a way to transform the SATA outputs of the backplane to USB inputs in a USB hub which I plan to install inside the case. All the cables and interfaces SATA-to-USB I find, include the power adaptor, which does not fit the backplane SATA connections of the backplane.

I would need 8 x cable adapter like the Startech one, but without the SATA power part, does it exist?

Thanks in advance.
