//Edit: It’s a SAS drive. thanks for the help :))
I bought two of these a long time ago, and I recently tried to connect them to a SATA III connector without luck. The size seems to match up, but the block between the two pin segments seems to block it from connecting with SATA III.
Can you help me figure out what kind of adaptor I need ? :))

You can connect a SATA drive to a SAS cable, but not a SAS drive to a SATA cable.
There are sas harddrives which support SATA. They are however very rare.
