StarTech.com 50cm Serial Attached SCSI SAS Cable - SFF-8087 Plug to 4x Latching SATA (female) - Mini SAS to SATA Cable (SAS8087S450), Black red

Not much to say about these, I had two cheaper versions which I figured were causing issues in my array.Id essentially got disk errors read and right on scrubs, after changing the cables to these ones I've not had issues for over a month now.There about double the price of those heaper blue ones, my advice... Pay a little more if you want to ensure data integrity.

This is the good stuff. So yeah it all good. Buy this thing already. Its red. With black thingies at the end.

handy cable when you have more than one SAS drive to connect

usefull

They do exactly what it says on the tin. Good quality connectors work faultlessly. What more needs to be said?

Purchased 2 of this lead to use with Rocketraid 2720gls, and they are good quality and worked very well !! Great purchase.

Unfortunately the cable was not reliable for me. Out of the box it randomly caused my RAID controller to fail the second drive triggering constant auto array rebuilds. I put this down to the fact that the SATA connections are very loose fitting and the latching did not seem to work.Purchased the LSI CBL-SFF8087OCF-05M instead, which was also 50% cheaper and that has been great. Compared side to side, the LSI cable is clearly much better built, using genuine molex brand connectors, and has a secure connection to the SATA drives.Get the LSI cable instead.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000FBYS2U?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

Use caution with this cable, like another reviewer I suffered with “failing drives” and array rebuilds. Using this cable has pointed to four drives being RMA’d over time, which is way too high to be a genuine failure rate. The blue 8087 cables are higher quality, use them instead.

No issues, all cables/connectors worked and they feel well made and durable. They are a good mix of extremely flexible and resilient. I could only see an issue with sufficient length if you're working in a monstrous case. Mine were used in a mini-itx case so there was a ton of excess length left.

Very well made. Connectors lock securely in place. Also the SATA connectors are individually numbered. Long enough for a big case. Ensures good data speed.

Es un accesorio que no tiene mucha chicha, pero de momento el resultado que me da con mi controladora RAID SATA es mas que aceptable.

The shielding and wrap on these cables are far better quality than the extremely flimsy and breakable blue cables you see everywhere, they are thick and very similar to normal SATA cabling. Highly recommend these cables.

These are a little on the pricey side but they work when a much cheaper SAS cable gave me a few days of CRC error headaches. These StarTech cables have a slightly better build quality. Most importantly no more CRC errors.
