This one (sorry for the Amazon link) states its SAS to SATA as long as the controller supports it https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-S ... B000V72AQ4...
Those cables and interposers are for attaching a SATA drive to a SAS HBA. The cables don't work in reverse as SATA support is an optional feature for SAS HBAs.
As for the enclosures - my bad as the enclosure I looked at supported two SAS drives separately from the SATA ones and needed a HBA in the computer for these (stupid design).
No matter what way you go - it's going to be messy compared to a traditional case / server build for "home" users - even the HP Gen 10 MicroServer V2 has gone for 4 non-hot plug SATA drive bays.
