This is a 2007ish Vista era HP laptop with I guess SAS HDD; is there an adapter to test a sata3 SSD? I'm unfamiliar with SAS or whatever this is it's similar in length but flipped and maybe a quarter inch connectors rather than the tiny sata couple of millimeters or whatever. I'm sure it's not compatible with portability but this is simply for testing purposes so if anyone can point me to the right adapter I'd be very grateful. TIA. BTW the laptop connector is female so I bet the adapter would need to be male to male?
