I cannot tell from your picture but I bought a cheap cable here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/184850980395

that clicks perfectly into the wide internal connector but gives me real (shielded) SATA connectors...not SAS connectors. I've not really tried it but it advertises to do what I want.

There's also the matter if recent firmware can overcome the removable media and optical drive issues with Irix and using these adapters (HBAs). It'd be nice to have an SGI that can use a Blu-Ray burner for reading/writing media for odd projects.
