Black 0.5 m Mini SAS SFF-8643 male to four SATA female connectors

Vszerda

Vszerda Internal HD Mini SAS Cable 0.5M SFF-8643 to 4x SATA

SKU CH-QCXC-YD6PG

Connects a Mini SAS SFF-8643 controller to four SATA drives with a 0.5 m 30 AWG cable

  • SFF-8643 host connects to controller or RAID card
  • Four SATA targets attach up to four hard drives
  • 30 AWG conductors support 13 Gb SAS throughput
  • 5 m length keeps internal routing tidy
  • Latch on Mini SAS end secures the connection

Internal HD Mini SAS SFF-8643 cable

This 0.5 metre cable connects a host controller with an SFF-8643 port to four SATA hard drives. It uses 30AWG wiring in a black and blue sheath. The SFF-8643 male connector includes a latch for secure attachment to a motherboard or RAID card. Each of the four breakout ends terminates in a standard SATA female port for drive connectivity.

Builders with SFF-8643 host ports only

The cable suits systems where the controller or backplane presents an SFF-8643 interface. It will not work if your equipment uses the SFF-8644 connector instead. Buyers who need to attach drives to an SFF-8644 port should look at a different cable assembly. The fixed 0.5 metre length also limits use in larger enclosures where longer runs are required.

Steady throughput for multi-drive arrays

Serial Attached SCSI is designed for high-throughput and fast data access across sustained workloads. The SFF-8643 connector supports a transition from 6Gb to 13Gb speeds while using less PCB real estate. Under continuous load the four SATA links share the host bandwidth without the latency spikes seen in short bursts. The latch helps maintain signal integrity during extended operation.

Questions about this item

Do I need a controller or motherboard with an SFF-8643 Mini SAS port to use this cable?

Yes, the SFF-8643 end plugs into a host controller or motherboard Mini SAS port, while the four SATA connectors attach to SATA hard drives.

Will this cable work if my backplane uses SFF-8644 instead of SFF-8643?

No, the supplier states the SFF-8643 connector will not work with SFF-8644 backplanes; the two interfaces are not compatible.

How can I verify the cable is functioning correctly after connecting my drives?

The system BIOS or RAID utility should detect each attached SATA drive at full SAS throughput, confirming the link is active.
