Versatile compatibility Compatible with SAS hard drives and SAS solidstate drives, as well as controllers that use SFF8087 and SFF8482 interfaces, supporting a wide range of internal storage configurations. Hassle installation Plugandplay design allows quick installation with no tools required; straightforward routing and secure connections simplify setup and maintenance. What you get A single internal cable with two Mini SAS connectors (SFF8087 on one end, SFF8482 on the other) for seamless, universal connectivity between compatible SAS devices. Specifications and usage notes Type: internal Mini SAS cable Connectors: SFF8087 to SFF8482 Application: connects SAS controllers to SAS/SATA drives or backplanes within servers, workstations, or storage enclosures Materials: construction for durability and reliability Use scenarios Scenario 1: Upgrading or expanding a server's storage by linking a SAS controller to drives in an internal hotswap backplane, enabling a RAID array. Scenario 2: Building a dedicated performance storage node in a workstation by connecting a PCIe SAS controller to multiple SAS drives for expanded capacity. Scenario 3: Expanding storage in a data center by connecting an expansion enclosure to an existing SAS controller, increasing total available drive bays without replacing existing components.
