SFF-8643 to 4 SATA breakout cable

This 0.5 metre cable connects a host bus adapter, RAID controller or motherboard with an SFF-8643 port to up to four SATA drives. It is built for internal storage upgrades in workstations and RAID arrays. The 36-pin connector splits to four 7-pin SATA plugs.

Upgrade from direct SATA or older SAS links

The cable replaces a direct SATA connection or an older 3 Gbps SAS link when the host has an SFF-8643 interface. The jump is worth it when the controller supports 6 Gbps and the drives can use that speed. Compatibility is noted with Adaptec RAID 71605 and 7895 storage controllers.

Handles four 6 Gbps SATA drives

The assembly supports both 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps operation across all four lanes. It provides headroom for a future migration to a 12 Gbps storage area network. Stainless steel latches keep each connection secure under continuous data loads.

How do I connect the four SATA drives, and what is the common mistake?
