No
No - for SCSI drives you need a SCSI controller, few motherboards have them as standard, and there are several different "flavours" of SCSI which are not interchangeable.

Thanks thats what I thought
Can anyone tell me if SAS needs an adapter card, or if it can just plug into a serial port on your mobo?

SAS drives still need a suitable host adapter.
For those who are interested a host adapter for SAS drives should also handle SATA drives. Comparison here - P40.
One other thing to watch out for - ordinary PCI cards are simply not fast enough for SAS (or even SATA II), so you will only find PCI-X and PCI-E (usually x4) cards. PCI-X is not supported on the mobo you indicated, but a PCI-E x4 card would fit into any of the physically larger x16 slots, one of which is x4 electrically anyway.

That's about the lowest priced I've seen which I know is compatible.

This one is priced cheaper (only SATA I) but I don't know whether that comes with cables (I've seen them sold separately so I suspect not) or Windows drivers. It also needs a PCI-E x8 slot.
