SATA SSD's are in a weird space. HDD are cheaper and more reliable for large storage pools. NVME is everywhere and provides those quick speeds and are even faster if you need that. There just aren't many use cases where SATA SSD's are the best option.

SATA SSDs have one advantage though - their size. You don't see m.2 form factor SSDs going well over 8TBs, but for a larger SATA drive you can find >8TBs easily. Samsung had the best offering for this recently - Samsung SSD 870 QVO The enterprise world has U2, but us plebs don't really have a comparable alternative.

No advantage over SAS here - it's the same form factor.

Problem here is I haven't seen SAS connectors in any consumer motherboard.

Yeah, you need an adapter. Search on eBay for "freeNAS" and "LSI" and you'll find a bunch listed for way under $100.
