Vszerda Mini SAS SFF-8088 Male to 4 SATA Female 1M Cable

SKU CH-AQW2-KMN9S

Connects an SFF-8088 Mini SAS controller to four SATA drives at 3.0 Gb/s with a 1 m cable

  • Connects Mini SAS controller to four SATA drives
  • 26-pin SFF-8088 male to 4x 7-pin SATA female
  • 0 Gbps Mini SAS performance for high-throughput storage
  • Press-button latch simplifies insertion and removal
  • Two cables included for multi-drive configurations

External Mini SAS 26-pin to 4 SATA

This cable provides an external 26-pin SFF-8088 male Mini-SAS connector on one end and four 7-pin SATA female connectors on the other. It links a Mini SAS host or controller directly to four SATA target drives or a backplane. The 1 metre length suits rack or enclosure connections. The interface supports 3.0 Gigabits per second data throughput.

Suited for storage arrays and servers

Builders connecting a SAS controller to multiple SATA drives in a storage chassis or server backplane will find this cable matches the required SFF-8088 interface. The upgraded press-button latch simplifies insertion and removal compared with older pull-ring designs. Systems needing internal Mini SAS connectors or higher signalling rates than 3.0 Gbit/s are not served by this cable.

SFF-8088 3.0 Gbit/s signalling

The single specification that decides fit is the external SFF-8088 connector rated for 3.0 Gigabits per second SAS signalling. Verify that your controller presents an SFF-8088 port and that your drives accept SATA connections at this speed. The cable does not convert protocol; it passes SAS-to-SATA signalling as defined by the interface standard.

Questions about this item

What controller or host bus adapter with an SFF-8088 port do I need to connect this cable?

You need a Mini SAS controller or HBA that provides an external 26-pin SFF-8088 male connector; the cable plugs directly into that port and breaks out to four SATA drives.

Will my existing 3.0 Gbit/s SATA hard drives work at full speed when attached through this Mini SAS cable?

Yes, the SAS interface is backwards compatible with SATA and the cable guarantees 3.0 Gigabits per second, matching the native speed of those drives.

How can I confirm the cable is seated correctly and the link is active after I plug it in?

The upgraded press-button latch clicks when fully inserted, and the controller BIOS or operating system will enumerate all four attached SATA targets at 3.0 Gbit/s.
