SFF-8482 SAS to SATA adapter cable 2.3ft

This SMUGDESK cable converts a SFF-8482 SAS hard-drive connector to a standard motherboard SATA port. An integrated 7-inch Molex 4-pin lead supplies drive power from the same assembly. The 2.3ft length allows flexible routing inside a chassis. It targets builders adding SAS storage to a SATA-only board without a dedicated controller.

Suits single-drive SAS upgrades on SATA motherboards

Installers connecting one 2.5 or 3.5-inch SAS drive to an available SATA port will find the plug-and-play design straightforward. No driver installation is required. The cable does not support multi-lane SAS connectors or backplanes that require a different interface. Builders needing to attach multiple drives or use a RAID controller should look at a dedicated HBA instead.

SFF-8482 single-port SAS interface

The adapter mates only with drives that present a SFF-8482 connector. Dual-port SAS drives or enclosures using wide-port or multi-lane connectors will not fit this cable. Verify the drive connector type before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SAS drive version for this SFF-8482 cable?

The same SFF-8482 adapter cable works with both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SAS hard drives, so choose the drive size that fits your chassis and storage needs.

What does the SFF-8482 to SATA conversion actually let me do in a real build?

It lets you plug a SAS hard drive straight into a standard motherboard SATA port for data, while the attached 7-inch Molex 4Pin lead powers the drive simultaneously.

Which SAS or SATA standard does the SFF-8482 interface cap at in practice?

The SFF-8482 connector carries a single SAS lane; when adapted to SATA the link runs at the motherboard SATA port's native speed, typically 6 Gb/s.
