The LSI options seem to be:
LSI SAS 9207-8i KIT 8-Port 6Gbps SATA+SAS PCI-E 3.0 HBA Kit
LSI LSI00301 (9207-8i) PCI-Express 3.0 x8 SATA / SAS Host Controller Card
The first comes with cables for £150, the second without cables for £100. Mini SATA cables are available for £8.99. It seems sensible to buy them separately or is that a false economy?
I'd buy used - £30-40 on ebay ('lsi sas' was my search). Assuming you get
the right connectors, no reason not to buy the cables separately.
(Not familiar with all the models though. On Linux things 'just work' but you'd need to check the Windows driver situation)
