SlimSAS 8i to four U.3 drives

This cable links a single SlimSAS 8i SFF-8654 port on a host controller or motherboard to four U.3 SFF-8639 devices. It carries SAS and SATA traffic over a one-metre assembly built with copper conductors for stable data transfer. The 8-pin sideband connection is included so each attached drive can communicate status and control signals.

Builders expanding a SlimSAS 8i port

Storage builders who need to break out one 8i connector into four U.3 bays will find this cable a direct fit. It serves RAID arrays and multi-drive enclosures where the controller presents a single SlimSAS 8i interface. Systems that require a different host connector or more than four U.3 endpoints cannot use this assembly.

One SFF-8654 to four SFF-8639 connectors

The decisive specification is the fixed 1-to-4 breakout: one SFF-8654 plug fans out to four SFF-8639 receptacles. If the host side or the drive side uses a different connector keying, this cable will not mate.

Questions about this item

What maximum data rate does the 1 Gb/s specification limit the cable to under sustained use?

The cable is rated for 1 Gb/s, so sustained transfers cannot exceed that bandwidth regardless of the controller or drives attached.

Does the copper construction add noticeable heat or power draw when the cable runs all day?

The passive copper conductors draw no extra power and generate negligible heat during continuous operation.

Which controller connector must the system already have to use the SFF-8654 end of this cable?

The host side requires a SlimSAS 8i SFF-8654 port on the motherboard or SAS controller.
