SlimSAS 8i to 8× SATA cable

The Vszerda SlimSAS 8i cable connects a single SFF-8654 port to eight SATA drives, giving server and workstation builders a compact way to add high-density storage. It carries 6 Gbps per lane over copper conductors in a 50 cm black assembly.

Replaces multi-cable fan-outs

One SlimSAS 8i link replaces eight discrete SATA cables, cutting clutter and improving airflow in chassis that use LSI 9211-8i or 9211-4i controllers. The straight-to-SATA male-to-male design locks securely, so the upgrade is worth it whenever a backplane or HBA exposes an SFF-8654 interface.

Eight drives at 6 Gbps each

The cable comfortably handles eight SATA SSDs or hard drives at full 6 Gbps bandwidth per device. Headroom ends when the host controller or backplane cannot sustain aggregate throughput across all eight lanes simultaneously.

Questions about this item

Will the SFF-8654 connector on this cable fit a standard PCIe x8 slot?

The SFF-8654 end is designed for SlimSAS controllers such as the LSI 9211-8i or 9211-4i, not a bare PCIe x8 slot; it attaches to the controller card that sits in the slot.

Which way round do the straight-to-SATA plugs go — one end to the controller, eight ends to the drives?

The single SFF-8654 male connector plugs into the SlimSAS controller, while the eight SATA male connectors attach directly to your SATA hard drives or SSDs.

How often should I replace the copper conductors inside this 50CM cable?

The copper conductors are rated for the life of the build; replace the cable only if you see physical damage, bent pins, or intermittent drive detection.
