SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) are two different types of connectors used for connecting data storage devices such as hard drives and solid state drives to a computer. SAS uses a point-to-point data connection while SATA uses a shared bus. This means that each SAS device has its own dedicated connection to the SAS controller while SATA devices share a common data bus. SAS connectors are usually found on higher-end data storage devices while SATA connectors are more common on lower-end devices.
SAS drives are a type of computer storage device that uses a serial interface to connect to a computer. They are often used in servers and high-performance computing applications. Despite their popularity, some experts have proclaimed that SAS drives are beginning to show their age and may soon be replaced by newer technologies. One reason for this is that SAS drives have a limited data transfer speed of 6 Gbps, while newer drives such as NVMe can offer speeds of up to 32 Gbps. Another issue is that SAS drives often require special adapters and cables in order to work, which
SAS drives are designed for use in servers and are not typically found in desktop computers. However, it is possible to use a SAS drive in a desktop computer if the proper hardware and software are in place. The hardware requirements include a SAS controller and a SAS drive bay. The software requirements include SAS drivers and SAS management software. If all of the requirements are met, then it is possible to use a SAS drive in a desktop computer.
You can not use a SATA cable for a SAS drive.

Since this is not exactly a cooking tool or an inflated T-Rex costume, there is a good chance that you know what you are getting. Not overly engineered like IBM, but also not underengineered like AliExpress, the quality appears to be fine. In fact, I bent the cable at the strain relief as part of my unique use case, and the device seemed more than capable of handling the unusual application. Since I installed it, I've had no issues, and it's been working properly for at least six months.

I Purchased This For My Dual Xeon Supermicro FreeNAS Server Build! My motherboard has a built-in Lsi Sas Controler, so I needed a few of these for a few more hard drives. Additionally, my case, a Fractal Define Xlr2, has eight hard drive bays, so I didn't want to manage any 3-4 foot long sas cables, so after looking around I kind of stumbled on to these, and the price was right, so I bought it. And I'm glad I did because they do a great job and I didn't even have to manage a ridiculous amount of extra cable! If you require Mini SAS to Sata cables, I recommend giving these a shot. I believe you'll be glad you did. Additionally, they won't break the bank, LOL.

I had recently purchased a used PERC SAS controller and needed an adapter for numerous disks in order to test out various storage possibilities at home.This adaptor cable worked perfectly! easy plug and play. After the computer had booted, a CTRL-R key combination allowed me to configure the drives I had, which the SAS controller had no trouble identifying. Four SATA disks can be connected by using one of the PERC controller's two ports, which is taken up by this wire. A second wire will allow for an additional eight SATA disks.Even though this isn't a PERC controller evaluation, the speeds were swift, reliable, and error-free. The cables have a black mesh covering that appears to be sturdy and protective, and they are thin and flexible. Using these, I wouldn't have any issues with cable management. The SATA connectors' locking metal tab, as opposed to only friction holding them in, is another advantage. These are a great touch even if I've never experienced a SATA connector falling out.It functions well.

When I first reviewed these, I gave them a two-star rating since they had awful drive read issues. Since then, I've modified this because the SATA Controller card was the real offender. Simply make sure to route them properly and, for the love of God, avoid braiding or tying them in knots because doing so only serves to increase read mistakes. These cables work fantastically.The good: Excellent cable management flex, decent color, and tremendous reach! This was great at 3.3' because I required 2' for wires and the others are just 1.5'. They should function properly if you can keep these away from interference and have appropriate cable management within the case.The hopes: I'm a little disappointed that all of them go from 1-4 when it would be more appropriate to show 0-3 and it would be wonderful to have a labeling choice (or have labels included that go 5-8 or 4-7 but that would simply be a lovely addition.The bad: Once I realized the problem was with the controller and not necessarily the cords, I eliminated this piece.

I have a file server with a high drive density (around 40 drives), made up entirely of SATA drives and wires.I recently started transitioning from SATA to SAS drives, therefore I needed a simple fix to get the SAS drives connected to my RAID controller.Option 1 was to replace the complete cable assembly with one of these $14 cables, dropping the cost per port to around $3.50, or to use SAS port adapters (about $6 per port) and use my existing SATA cables. Since the cable replacement was less expensive by nearly half, I chose that option.I bought 4 of these in all, and so far I've got roughly 10 drives using them. The lock for the 8087 cable works satisfactorily, the connection fits perfectly, and there are no visible build-related flaws or blips.

I used this to connect my new H200 to my Dell R710 LFF Backplane. The only drawback to that (NOT THIS PRODUCT) is that these connections are longer than the default Dell cables, so they will need to be inserted with some care in order to seal the server's top.I've had no problems with the drives or the backplane since installing this; highly recommended.

I spent $259 for a High Point RocketRAID 3720A RAID controller, $159 each for four 6TB/12GB SAS drives, then I connected my SFF-8643 to the SSDs using these connectors. After setting up a 4-drive RAID-5 array, I ran a Crystal DiskMark scan, which revealed amazing read and write speeds of 637MB/sec and 633MB/sec, respectively. I was concerned about the speed because other people had reviewed these cables and claimed they could only transfer data at a rate of 6 GB/sec, not the 12 GB/sec that the drives and controller are capable of. However, given the reported speeds in Crystal DiskMark, I believe the other reviewers may have either used or connected 6 GB/sec SAS drives or SATA drives, which have a 6 GB/sec transfer rate limit, and no cable or controller can achieve faster speeds.PERFORMANCEI made the decision to try a real-world write test after learning that while RAID-5 has a very good read speed, a write speed of 105MB/sec was respectable. I'm currently copying 11TB of my Plex movie files to my new array, and Windows predicts it will be finished in less than 6 hours. The copy speed is currently sitting around 600MB/sec.SUMMARYI bought two sets of cables since I will eventually have an 8-drive RAID-5 array and I required these cords. AWESOME JOB!

Yes, SAS to SATA adapters work. Most adapters will connect to both SAS and SATA hard drives, allowing you to use either type of drive in your computer.
SAS drives are connected through a SAS controller, which is a special type of controller that is designed to work with SAS drives. The controller connects to the drive through a special cable that is designed for SAS drives. The controller then sends commands to the drive through the cable, and the drive responds to the controller through the same cable.
To connect your mini SAS cable, first locate the mini SAS port on your device. Then, insert the mini SAS cable into the port and secure it in place with the screws provided. Once the cable is connected, you will need to configure your device's settings to use the mini SAS port.
SAS drives are designed for durability and have a long lifespan. However, the length of time a SAS drive lasts depends on a number of factors, including how often it is used and how well it is cared for. With proper care and regular use, a SAS drive can last for many years.
Yes, SSD is faster than SAS. SAS is a type of hard drive, while SSD is a type of flash memory. Flash memory is faster than hard drives because it has no moving parts. This means that data can be accessed faster because there is no need to wait for the disk to spin around to the correct location.
