A 4-lane high-density connector is used for SAS and SATA data transfer. 4 individual 7-pin SATA connectors connect HDDs or SSDs. These connectors are used in storage arrays where high-speed data transfer between SAS controllers and SATA storage devices is required
The SFF-8643 is the host, interfacing with the motherboard or RAID controller via Mini SAS ports, whereas the 4x7Pin SATA is the target, connecting to hard drives through SATA ports
The new SFF-8643 connector uses less PCB real estate and allows higher port density for internal hosts and devices. Provides point data transfer speeds up to 6 Gbit/s
It offers a cost-effective way to connect SAS controllers to storage devices while maintaining high performance. The short cable length and right-angle connectors make it easy to route and manage within server enclosures
Before buying this cable, please ensure the Mini SAS (SFF-8643) on your motherboard or RAID Controller. If the Mini SAS (SFF-8643) on your backplane, this cable will not work with them
