Vszerda Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 IC to 4 SATA Cable 0.5m
Connects a Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 port to four SATA drives using 28AWG copper wire for 6Gbps server-to-storage links
- 6Gbps bandwidth enables fast server-to-storage transfer
- SFF-8644 with IC splits to four SATA 7-pin connectors
- 28AWG copper wire reduces resistance for reliable conductivity
- 100% open and short tested at 300V for quality assurance
- 5m length suits compact server and RAID installations
Product Identity
The Vszerda Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 IC to 4 SATA Cable is a 0.5 metre internal interconnect that converts a single SFF-8644 port into four SATA 7-pin connectors. It uses 28AWG copper wire under UL20276 specification to deliver 6Gbps per channel for server and storage installations.
Who It Suits
This cable suits administrators wiring SAS controllers or RAID cards to four SATA hard drives or SSDs inside a chassis. It does not suit builders who need a longer reach between controllers and drive bays or teams requiring a breakout to a connector type other than SATA.
Deciding Specification
The critical figure is the 6Gbps single-channel bandwidth supported by the SFF-8644 interface with integrated circuit. Verify that your controller and target drives operate at this speed before purchasing.

Questions about this item
What connectors are on the cable and do I need to buy any extra cables?
The cable has one SFF-8644 Mini SAS HD connector with an integrated circuit on one end and four SATA 7-pin connectors on the other. No extra cables are needed to connect four SATA drives to a compatible controller.
Which length should I choose for a standard server chassis?
The 0.5m length suits tight internal routing in 1U or 2U servers. Longer 1m, 2m and 3m options are available if drives are farther from the controller or for external JBOD enclosures.
Will the 6Gbps rating give me full SSD speed in my RAID card?
Each of the four lanes runs at up to 6Gbps, matching the SATA 6Gbps specification. Actual throughput depends on the RAID controller, drive firmware and system workload, but the cable itself does not limit SATA SSD performance.
