High Density Storage Migration Solution
The Cable Matters Internal HD Mini-SAS 8643 to 4 x SATA Cable is an essential component for migrating from a 6 Gbps to 12 Gbps storage area network. It provides multiple lanes of high speed SATA traffic through a single cable in a sturdy but flexible cable that is built to withstand 24/7 use.
Robust Construction
The combination of a slim ribbon cable design in a woven mesh sheath with locking connector latches provides a professional installation that minimizes the impact on airflow in a computer case.
Important Notes
- Pair with a 4 port SATA to Power Splitter Cable to provide power to the drives
- Data transfer speed is determined by the capabilities of your SAS controller and SATA drives
SFF-8643 HD Mini-SAS 36 pin connector
- 1 x 36 pin HD Mini-SAS SFF-8643 - male with latch
- Connect a 12Gbps host bus adapter or RAID controller with SFF-8643
4 x 7 pin SATA connectors
- 4 x 7 pin SATA receptacle – female with latch
- Compatible with 2.5", 3.5" SATA I, II, III hard drives
Built to run 24/7

The majority of non-workstation or server motherboards only offer 4-6 SATA ports, thus I picked up an LSI 9300-8i PCI-Express 3.0 SATA / SAS 8-Port SAS3 12Gb/s HBA (2x SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD ports) to expand the number of SSD's and HDD's I'd be able to configure for my home server. For the HBA, I needed a decent set of breakout cables to connect the additional drives and these cables fit the bill perfectly. They are well made, stay snuggly in place on the HBA, and there have been zero speed drops (which I have experienced on lesser quality cables in the past).It's important to note that these cables are much longer and thiner than standard SATA cables you'd use to connect from your motherboard to a disk. Some care needs to be taken when handling them. They're not exactly fragile or brittle, and this isn't specific to the brand (all breakout cables are similar), though you don't want to bend the cables or tighten them down with zip ties.For cable management, I'd recommend UGREEN's Hook and Loop material (it's like velcro, but better).https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5NKVVK/

Works well connected directly to NAS drives (3x ironwolf pro 4TBs - in a parity storage space), and (1x ironwolf pro 4TB - connected to an old trayless hotswap cage). Copied 1.6 TB of data from the ~7.0TB storage space to standalone drive in 1HR 55MIN. The cable is connected to a LSI Broadcom SAS 9300-8i 12 Gb/s I picked up here on Amazon.

Finally found a set that actually works for my Areca RAID card. I've purchased a few that did not work. I recommend getting this longer length instead of a shorter set.

Works great for me and my SSD and mechanical RAIDs. I keep adding drives to my RS3DC080 and expander card, so I keep buying more of these cables. No problems at all.

Cables are a bit thin and fragile, however they have been installed in my computer for a few weeks now and I haven't had a single problem with them. They work great!

Cables are in perfect condition. They appear to be built well. I bought 2 cables which support 8 drives. I'm using 6 for my nas and no issues with performance.
