Pros: Bought this to connect my Perc 6 card to the 4 drive backplane in my Level 10 Series GTS case. Worked flawlessly. I was worried it'd be too short, but it was just the right size when I routed it through the holes/channel in the case.

My raid 5 array has been in 24/7 operation for at least 6mo now without a single error or hiccup.

Cons: They're not super cooled, super conducting ribbons that move the bits at 2.5x the speed of light?

Other Thoughts: Not a con for me, but I could see where someone may need 90 degree angled SATA connectors where space is really really tight. I don't, so it's a win for me!

Pros: Works fine. Fairly easy to bundle and organize the cables.

Cons: A bit expensive, but I guess it's a bit of a niche item, and it's certainly an improvement over costly SCSI cables. I bought two of these. One of them looks like it had been passed through a woodchipper. The packaging it came in was undamaged so it appears to have left the factory in this condition, in such a way I doubt Newegg staff would have been able to notice. The damaged part only had one operable SATA connector, but was otherwise sound, no shorts or exposed wires.

Other Thoughts: I only needed to connect 5 devices at the time, so I didn't bother returning the damaged part to Newegg or the manufacturer (I'm sure one of them would have replaced it). Now that I want to grow the array, I'll have to order another cable. Oops.

Manufacturer Response:

All Tripp Lite cables come with a lifetime warranty. Please contact Tripp Lite’s Chicago-based Tech Support Team at 773-869-1234 and they will be happy to provide a replacement for your defective cable.

Pros: Plug and play
It just works

Cons: Have to power off machine... Why have they not made it so *everything* can be hot plugged, yet? =)

Pros: Works great with my PERC 5/i RAID card

Cons: None so far...maybe the finish can be a bit better, but who cares? It works great

Other Thoughts: Works right out-of-the-bag!

Pros: Does the Job and good quality

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: This product was purchased for my LSI SAS8703EM2 raid card. Only issue was with the information given by the person that sold me the card. I ended up with the wrong cable. This cable is reversed needed foward.

Pros: This is a very nice cable. I bought it to hook my Dell SAS 6/iR controllers up to my NORCO RPC-4220 4U Rackmount Server Chassis backplanes.

These cables are well constructed and have nice clips on them.

Cons: I would like it if there were a little longer. They were barely long enough for my application. Unfortunately longer cables are not presently available on NewEgg. But this isn't really the cables fault, and they did work.
