NL-SAS disk in desktop PCIe SAS controller. Does it work?

I have recently got the idea of deploying a home NAS, since I got a used SAS disk online.

But now I realised it’s a nearline SAS disk, and I preemptively bought a SAS controller for my desktop motherboard not knowing if the connection would work.

The disk is a 16TB Western Digital DC HC550 and the controller is a LSI Broadcom 9300-8i

I haven’t got any cable for the disk, since I don´t know what connector the disk uses and the specs aren’t very clear, but it seems to have around 26 pins. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
