- The Mini SAS (SFF-8643) to 4x SATA Cable is designed to connect your motherboard or RAID controller featuring Mini SAS ports to four SATA drives. This ensures optimal data transfer and connectivity for your storage needs. - Before purchasing, verify that your motherboard or RAID controller has a Mini SAS (SFF-8643) port. This cable is not compatible with Mini SAS connectors located on the backplane. - The SFF-8643 connector allows for more efficient use of PCB real estate and increases port density in internal setups. The hybrid design of these cables facilitates a seamless upgrade path from 6Gb to 12Gb speeds. - Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) provides a high-speed data storage interface that optimizes both throughput and rapid data access, making it ideal for demanding data-intensive applications. Use Cases: 1. Ideal for expanding storage capacity in servers or workstations by connecting multiple SATA drives to a single Mini SAS port. 2. Perfect for RAID configurations, allowing for efficient data management and redundancy solutions. 3. Suitable for high-performance computing environments requiring fast data transfers between a RAID controller and multiple storage devices. Key Attributes: - Function: Connects Mini SAS (SFF-8643) to 4 SATA drives - Compatibility: Check for SFF-8643 port on your motherboard or RAID Controller - Size: Compact design for optimal space utilization - Material: Durable construction for longevity and reliability - Performance: Supports high-speed data transfers and efficient storage solutions
