Mini SAS 36-pin internal data cable for four drives - Function: provides a reliable internal connection from a controller card in a computer system to four independent SAS/SATA storage drives via a mini SAS (SFF-8087) interface. - Compatibility: designed for internal use with PCIe or SAS controllers that use SFF-8087 ports and connect to up to four drives. - Design and durability: flat connector with easy-to-grip tread and a stainless steel latch to prevent accidental disconnection and reduce vibration. - Cable type and pins: mini SAS 36-pin cable suitable for internal data transfer between controller and drives. - Size and form factor: internal, compact design for clean cable routing inside the chassis. - Performance and reliability: secure, robust connection to help maintain signal integrity and reduce disconnects during operation. - Convenience: professional and practical construction intended to provide straightforward installation and dependable performance. Key benefits - Enables a single PCIe/SAS controller to drive four independent SAS/SATA drives through a single internal mini SAS cable. - Secure latch reduces the risk of accidental disconnection and minimizes vibration-induced disconnects. - Compact, flat cable design simplifies routing in tight server or workstation enclosures. - Durable construction supports long-term use in daily computing, server, and storage applications. Specifications and compatibility - Cable type: Mini SAS 36-pin internal data cable - Connectors: SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 (internal) - Drives supported: up to four independent drives (SAS or SATA compliant via the controller) - Application: internal connections between a PCIe/SAS controller and storage drives - Material/ hardware: flat connector with easy-to-grip tread and stainless steel latch - Intended use: internal storage expansion, system builds, and server/workstation storage upgrades Use scenarios - Build a compact 4-drive SAS/SATA array: connect a PCIe/SAS controller to four drives in a small business server or high-density workstation, enabling RAID or other storage configurations. - Expand existing systems: upgrade a desktop or server by adding four drives behind a PCIe/SAS controller for increased capacity and performance without external cables. - RAID testing and maintenance: use the cable to quickly assemble or reconfigure drives for testing, imaging, or maintenance within the chassis. Note: This cable is intended for internal use with SFF-8087 ports and is suited for connecting a controller card to four independent drives. It provides a reliable, vibration-resistant, and secure connection suitable for storage applications.
