Connection and Use

This Vszerda cable converts a single Mini SAS 36P SFF-8087 port into four SFF-8482 connections, letting you attach up to four compatible hard drives. It includes a SATA power lead so each drive receives power without extra wiring. The .5 metre length suits tight chassis or backplane layouts.

Who It Suits

Builders adding multiple SFF-8482 drives to a Mini SAS controller will find the four-way split and integrated power convenient. Users needing 6 Gbit/s SAS throughput or drives with different connectors should look elsewhere, as this assembly is fixed at 3 Gbit/s and the listed connector types.

Deciding Specification

The cable operates at 3 gigabits per second over each SFF-8482 lane, so the host controller and target drives must both support that signalling rate for the link to function.

Questions about this item

What controller or motherboard port does the SFF-8087 end plug into?

The 36-pin Mini SAS SFF-8087 connector fits a single controller or motherboard port that presents the same 36-pin Mini SAS interface.

Will the four SFF-8482 drives share the 3 Gb/s bandwidth of the link?

Yes, all four SFF-8482 drives connect through one SFF-8087 link rated at 3 Gb/s, so the aggregate throughput is shared among them.

How can I confirm the cable is delivering data after installation?

Verify each attached drive appears in the BIOS or RAID utility and run a read/write test to confirm sustained transfer activity.
