Hi, I have a bunch og 3tb SAS drives that i have gotten for free. (WHAT A DEAL!)

Anyway, i only have a old msi motherboard with 16gb ddr3 ram and an old i7 4770 that only have SATA ports.

So my questions is:

  1. If i buy a HBA sas 8087 card, can i i buy breakout cables from 8087 to sas interface on the drives?

  2. Does a sas HDD use the same power adapter as an SATA HDD?

  3. Will the motherboard even be able to read the sas card?
