CableCreation0.5M Mini SAS (SFF-8643) to 4x SATA Cable, SFF-8643 for Controller, 4 SATA Connect to Hard Drive

Excellent value for money

The cables feel well made. Was initially afraid that the cables will not work, but it is hard to get the original Supermicro CBL-SAST-0616 cables in Singapore. So went ahead to order 2 sets of this cables to test out on my Supermicro A2SDi-8C-HLN4F motherboard. Was glad that it works out of the box, the motherboard managed to detect the HDDs after plugging them in and booting to BIOS to check. Good alternative to the Supermicro CBL-SAST-0616 cable, if you can't find them in your area!

Used these for testing hard drive configs on a raid card, prior to connecting the drives in the server on the back plane. Saved my butt, found out same mfg, drive type and size don't always work together. Model number had to be the same for my drives to work in same raid configuration as well. Money well spent getting these for testing.

The Mini SAS end felt a little cheap/flimsy to me, but this is also the first time I've handled one of these types of connectors - maybe they're all like that.The cable worked. I'm happy :)

Not Compatible with Sata Motherboard the main Port other 4 was Sata but Main port is not Compatible or fit into Sata Motherboard it has to be same as other 4 was
