OIKWAN Mini SAS 8087 to 4 SATA Cable

The OIKWAN Mini SAS to 4 SATA Cable provides essential internal connectivity, facilitating the integration of a RAID or PCIe controller equipped with an SFF-8087 port with up to four discrete SATA drives. This adapter ensures reliable data transfer, making it ideal for systems requiring a robust link between a Serial Attached SCSI controller card and direct attached storage devices utilizing a SATA interface. It is specifically designed to leverage hardware RAID performance, supporting critical components like the PERC H310 and various other RAID controllers.

Engineered for high performance, this multi-lane SATA cable supports data transfer rates of up to 6Gbps per individual drive. For expansive storage configurations, two such cables can be employed to connect up to eight SATA drives, enabling the creation of advanced RAID controller arrays that effectively share performance across two PCIe 2.0 x8 lanes when paired with compatible host bus adapters. This capability ensures that systems can scale their storage and maintain high data throughput for demanding applications.

Installation convenience and durable design are key attributes of this forward fan-out cable. The 3-foot cable harness offers sufficient length for meticulous internal cable management within most computer cases, while its slim ribbon design minimizes airflow obstruction. Enhanced flexibility and protection are provided by acetate cloth tape for strain relief and a woven mesh sheath covering half the cable for easier routing. Furthermore, P1 to P4 markers simplify identification post-installation, and low-profile SATA connectors feature easy-grip treads with stainless steel latches to prevent accidental disconnections and mitigate vibration-induced issues.
