Comment on What type of connector is this ?

Pretty sure that is a SAS drive.
I think you’re right :)
Will I be able to use it as with a sas to sata adaptor ?
Depends. If there’s a SATA logo on the front then yes.
If not it’s probably not supported.
No. SAS is a different protocol and requires a different host controller. SAS controllers can typically handle SATA drives, but not the other way around.
If this is for a server or desktop machine, you could install a PCIe SAS HBA.
