SAS to USB possible?

[Blindbatts]

Have some data on an SAS drive that I would like to access on a PC that does not have SAS.

Looking at it, it looks like the drive will plug right into my nexus external usb SATA enclosure, will I let the magic smoke out if I try such a silly thing?

The SAS drive has a slightly different plug, I think there is no gap between the data/power like there is on a sata drive.
Plus, you need a sas controller, sata controllers wont work

Won't work. You'll have to buy a SAS HBA.
