AN old G7 Microserver? I'm seeing them parted out for their backplanes.

HP Proliant Microserver Gen 7 Backplane Mini SAS SFF-8087 to SATA / SAS
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304564660421

The cabling is SAS, however the on-motherboard controller is not. That 
can be fixed by adding a SAS controller. They are cheap (some below 
£20!) and currently I'm searching recommendations.

The board end connector on the cable is "SFF-8087" and for me this looks 
a candidate (from https://n40l.fandom.com/wiki/Raid)

HP Smart Array P212 ZM

I have a stack of 3.5" SAS drives acquired after completing buy-it-now 
on ebay, and then finding my foot in my mouth - I actually needed 2.5"

So mine will be a box to totally backup my QNAP NAS, which did not amuse 
me last week when after restarting it, it decided to unlink the home 
directory for all authenticated users. This causing me to imagine the 
worse for most of my profile held stuff. It didn't help, that I was 
dealing with a disk failure and rebuilding the new drive at the same time.
