How to power sas drive

[RobTi]

Hi looking to connect a sas drive to my hba and got the breakout cables, now the stupid part, how do you power these drives I thought it was through the hba but confused now, any help

Depends which breakout cable you've bought?

Normally the breakout cables have a standard sata power connector as part of the bit that connects to the drive
