Review: Great Cable - I needed this SFF 8087 to SATA Forward Breakout Cable, 3.3 feet, which connects the one SFF 8087 Connector on my LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i RAID SBA Card to 4 SATA HDD's. Cables of this type, where you have the one SFF 8087 connector to 4 SATA or SAS HDD's are delicate cables to begin with due to the wire connections, this cable appears well made. The Connectors seem to be of good quality and fit snugly into their receptors, the main leads from the SFF connector are wrapped in a heavy insulator to protect the cables and while I didn't measure the length of this heavy insulator was about halfway on the total cable. The 4 separate leads were smaller wire gauge with a light blue plastic insulator and SATA standard connectors. Each of the 4 connectors were labeled with a simple plastic tag numbered from 1 thru 4 so you can identify each drive connected. I had no problems with communication between the Card and the HDD's, worked perfectly upon installation. The SATA connectors are typical ones that you find on many cables, nothing special, not too hard to install or remove, just press the small spring metal tab and the cable can be removed. They click into place with little effort. In hindsight, I may have tried to find cables with right angle SATA connectors as there wasn't much space between the connector and my case, but it worked without having to bend any wires. Its important that the wires are not crimped when installed. The Cable itself was quite long. I have mine in a large Mid Tower PC Case where the stacked and connected HDD's are to the right of the Motherboard so there was plenty of cable to route around the case. This cable would have been adequate for a larger case as well, either a Server Case or larger tower pc case. The 1.6 foot cable may have also worked but when I ordered it, I didn't want to take any chances on it being too short. Better to run the cable around the perimeter of the case than have it be too short or have to run it too close to a heat source of block airflow. I have other Cable Matters cables and they were of similar good quality, I don't think you can go wrong with this cable.
Review: Worked perfectly and solved my parity sync issues in Unraid - I had originally ordered a set of SAS to SATA Forward Breakout cables on ebay along with my order for an LSI SAS 9207 Sata/SAS HBA hard drive controller card. They were definitely cheaper on Ebay, and the ones from Ebay worked perfectly fine for 6 months until I decided to upgrade my Unraid server to an all new Ryzen build. During the the re-build, when disconnecting the LSI HBA card, I accidentally pulled part of the black sleeve covering the SAS connector stem area. It appeared to be cosmetic only. After firing up the new build everything booted fine and seemed stable. Data copied well and it all appeared to be great.... until I tried to validate partiy. I quickly started to experience consistent parity errors with different error counts every time I validated. It was random, though SMART drive tests all passed fine. After many hours of investigation and troubleshooting, isolating drives, etc....I finally decided to just try replacing cables with these ordered from desertcart (for fast Prime delivery). To my amazement parity validated perfectly! These immediately resolved all of my stability issues, and parity was able to be rebuilt and validated numerous times (to confirm). I had heard that the Unraid parity process could be sensitive to cable issues, but wow after 30+ years of building PC's I was quite suprised but am happy to have gotten a quality cable, delivered quickly!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am needing to patch a perc h700 to 4 drives and this looks like it will handle the data, but current harness combines power+data, any ideas?**
A: if the current harness combines both power and data, then I'd look at the connectors on the end of the cable to see if you can extend the data cable half of the combination.

**Q: I want to connect lsi megaraid 9271-8i to sata drives. do i need to provide power to the drives separately as this is just for data?**
A: Yes, this cable is solely for data. Each drive will still need a SATA power connection.

**Q: Is this a 1-pack or 2-pack cables? description says about connecting two cables to 8 sata, so i'm assuming a 2-pack, cmiiw?**
A: Mine came with (2) sets of cables. As such, an Raid controller with 2 SAS connections could technically connect to a total of (8) SATA drives. I experimented with a Dell PERC Raid controller and one of these two cables, and setup (4) drives in RAID-0, and it was fast.

**Q: this is sas to sata? Can I use to for sata to sata?**
A: RESPONSE FROM MANUFACTURER - CABLE MATTERS: 

This is Mini SAS to SATA Cable. It can't be used for SATA to SATA.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality, slim, crisp fit
*by J***A on March 4, 2024*

Solid, snug fit of the plugs, especially on the 8087 SAS side. The beautifully slim SATA lines are flexible without being flimsy. Length is more than enough for any application I can think of. Cleanly labeled. Very easy to use in a 2-to-8 configuration. For the typical LSI 8i HBA / SATA JBOD setup, this is the *perfect* cable. Your build will come out looking clean and running well.
