So if you want to connect an LSI controller (SAS9211-8i in my case) to an ENTERPRISE SAS NON-SATA drive, this is what you need . I was looking for a used OEM cable to no avail, so this cable was my only option. The build quality is VERY good as the cables "feel" thick and all crimp points feel solid. I tried using a regular SATA power cable from my modular power supply but the drive would not boot. I saw that another user had to use a Molex to SATA power adapter to fix this issue, so I had the adapter ready when I ran into the same issue. My plan is to have a fairly large selection of hard drives for my PLEX server, so I order a few more of these cables and then the appropriate number of Molex and SATA power supplies and I'm done.
