Mini SAS SFF-8087 breakout cable

This internal cable connects a single Mini SAS SFF-8087 port on a RAID controller to four SATA drives. It suits builders adding multiple hard drives to a server or workstation backplane. The .5 metre length keeps cable routing tidy inside compact chassis.

SATA throughput ceiling per drive

Each SATA connector is limited by the SATA interface maximum, so sustained transfer rates cannot exceed that ceiling regardless of the SAS link speed. The breakout topology shares the upstream SAS bandwidth across four drives, which can become a bottleneck under heavy simultaneous loads.

Shrapnel latches and short reach

Moulded shrapnel latches on the SATA plugs resist accidental unplugging during drive swaps or vibration. The short .5 metre run reduces clutter but demands that the controller and drive cages sit close together; it will not span full-tower distances.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the .5 m or the 1.6 ft version for my RAID controller?

Both figures describe the same cable length; choose the unit you prefer — .5 m equals 1.6 ft.

What does the SFF-8087 connector actually deliver inside my server?

The SFF-8087 plug carries four SAS lanes that break out to four SATA drives, letting a RAID controller address each drive independently.

Does the SATA breakout limit speed to the SATA 6 Gb/s ceiling?

Yes — each of the four SATA connectors is capped at the SATA 6 Gb/s interface rate, regardless of the SAS host capability.
