SFF-8644 to Four SATA Cable

The Vszerda SFF-8644 to 4 SATA 7 Pin Cable connects a host bus adapter with a Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 36-pin port to up to four SATA hard drives or SSDs. It carries a 6 Gb/s data rate and meets SAS 2.1 compliance. The 3.2 ft length suits server and workstation chassis routing. A woven mesh sheath and locking latches reduce airflow obstruction and support continuous 24/7 operation.

Suits HBA-to-drive fan-out.

Builders wiring an HBA or RAID card to multiple SATA drives will use this cable. It is not for connecting drives directly to a motherboard SATA header, nor for setups that need an internal SATA-to-SATA link. The male-to-male Mini SAS HD to four SATA fan-out serves backplane-to-drive or card-to-drive topologies only.

6 Gb/s SAS 2.1 data rate

The cable is specified for up to 6 Gb/s throughput under the SAS 2.1 standard. This single figure determines whether the link matches the speed of the drives and controller in the build.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 3.2 ft or 3.3 ft length for my server build?

Both figures refer to the same 1 metre cable; 3.2 ft is the rounded value used in the specifications, while 3.3 ft appears in the product title.

What does the 6 Gb/s speed rating deliver when the cable is connected to my HBA card?

It supports SAS 2.1 signalling at up to 6 Gb/s per lane, giving each of the four SATA drives full 6 Gb/s bandwidth when the host controller and drives also operate at that rate.

How does the SFF-8644 interface limit performance compared with a direct SATA connection?

The SFF-8644 36-pin connector carries four 6 Gb/s lanes, so it does not cap throughput below what each SATA drive can use; the practical limit remains the 6 Gb/s per port defined by the SAS 2.1 standard.
