SMUGDESK SFF-8087 Mini SAS to 4 SATA3 Breakout Cable

SKU CH-HJSW-0RQYH

Connects a single Mini SAS 8087 port to four SATA3 drives for RAID and server storage expansion at 6Gbps

  • Expands one Mini SAS port into four SATA3 channels for multi-drive RAID arrays
  • Delivers up to 6Gbps bandwidth for fast, consistent read and write performance
  • Multi-layer shielding cuts crosstalk and EMI to keep signals stable under load
  • Precision-molded connectors ensure firm contact and reliable data transfer
  • Flexible cable body simplifies neat internal routing in servers and storage cabinets

SFF-8087 Mini SAS Breakout Cable

This cable converts a single SFF-8087 Mini SAS port into four independent SATA3 connections. It is built for administrators and integrators who need to attach multiple SATA drives to a RAID controller or server backplane. The design suits internal storage expansion in servers, NAS units and surveillance systems.

Practical Limits of the SAS Interface

The link operates at up to 6Gbps, which is the ceiling for the SATA3 channels provided. Bandwidth is shared across the four breakout leads, so aggregate throughput cannot exceed the single SAS lane. Cable length and chassis routing also affect signal integrity at this speed.

Four SATA3 Ports From One Connector

The defining specification is the one-to-four breakout that delivers four SATA3 interfaces from a single SFF-8087 Mini SAS plug. If your controller only offers this port type and you must connect four SATA drives, this cable matches the requirement.

Questions about this item

Which SFF-8087 Mini SAS to 4 SATA3 breakout cable version should I choose for my server?

The cable converts a single SFF-8087 Mini SAS port into four SATA3 channels, letting a RAID controller attach four SATA hard drives or SSDs at once.

What does the 6Gbps rating mean when the cable is installed in a real machine?

It allows each SATA3 link to run at its full 6Gbps speed, so four drives can transfer data simultaneously without the cable becoming the bottleneck.

How does the SFF-8087 interface cap performance in practice?

The SFF-8087 connector carries four independent SAS lanes; each lane maps to one SATA3 port, so the interface itself does not limit the 6Gbps per drive.
