I recentely bought a Seagate Cheetah 146GB SAS ST3146755SS 10K Performance 15K RPM Hard Drive from EBAY and do have a computer that supports SAS. The problem is that I need to convert it into a SATA connection. I've found several adapters on EBAY, but most the folks selling it say that it cannot work with my drive. My question is, can I convert the connection into a SATA one and with what?

If your computer supports SAS, why do you need to convert it to SATA?

If you don't have an SAS HBA in your computer (either onboard or as a separate PCIe card), you can't use the disk (it's not possible to run a SAS disk with a SATA controller, but the other way round often works). If you have an SAS HBA, you don't need to convert anything.
