NO!

The SAS drive will not work on a SATA controller. It only works the other way -- SATA on an SAS controller, but your motherboard only has a SATA controller so you need a SATA drive.

Buy an SSD and 3TB SATA HDD for the same money and you will get much better performance.

You can get a Samsung 205GB 840 EVO and a 3TB SATA Seagate for about $350.

And to answer your original question -- no. You can use SATA drives on SAS controllers, but not SAS drives on SATA controllers.
