I have a HighPoint RocketRAID 2840A card that I'd like to put in an older desktop to essentially run as a NAS box.

This is the card in question: http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/series-rr2840a-overview.htm

Port Type: Four SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD

My question is what exactly do I need to be able to use SATA HDDs with it, some kind of cable?
