YES!!! SAS to SATA adapter works great!!!
I was also contemplating a homebuilt custom SATA cable, but I couldn't find the SATA connectors for sale anywhere. Every SATA cable I've seen has molded ends on it, so maybe they arent readily available as solder connectors?? Dunno...
I was also thinking about shortening the hydra cable on the adapter, but I think that is way too much trouble for marginal cosmetic only gain... So will leave it as is.
I did find the mini-size 8 pin Molex connector for the SATA power harness - but that was after I already snipped off the power connector and spliced on my PSU power cables... That Molex connector is available at Mouser:
