Hi, I think you can use HBA330 card. It supports both SATA and SAS drives. (Dell Host Bus Adapter User’s Guide HBA330 and External 12 Gbps SAS HBA | Dell US)
But I always recommend the consult a sale department before purchasing any part.
Hope that helps!

@DELL-Erman O
I might be wrong but the HBA330 is a internal one without external ports and its also passthrough only. Its the "12G SAS" variant he needs than. But the OP needs to answer if RAID is needed or not.
@s658349
For a R730 there are only 2 controllers with external Ports
The "12G SAS" which is a Passtrough/ NON Raid for attaching Tape or direct attached RAID Arrays or JBOD (and than doring Software raid within your OS) or the H830 with comes with RAID and Cache/Battery.
You should go with NLSAS drives than if SATA is not possible.

@Origin3k Thanks for your guidance, is it possible to use 3rd party HBA ?
