Hardware – Required Cable for SFF-8087 to SAS

The best option for you would be to get a SFF-8087 to 4x SFF-8482 cable (Robin links to one in his "answer") but there are plenty around. The cable you linked could not be used directly, as it has standard SATA style connections that your cards would not accept (though you could add another converter in there, it's best not to do so).

Normal SATA cables can not be plugged into SAS drives. SAS drives have a SFF-8482 connection (which is very similar, but) with a 2nd data port in between the primary data port and power ports (the primary data and power are in the same place as a SATA drive). This second port "keys" SAS drives so you can't plug them into a SATA cable.

A few items to help clarify SAS technology...

• SATA drives can connect to SAS ports.
• SAS drives cannot connect to SATA ports.
• Server-class hardware typically uses an embedded RAID controller or a separate RAID controller PCIe device.
• Most RAID controllers and SAS HBAs will use SAS connections (multilane or 4-lane SAS ports).
• Internally, these systems will use one of the internal SAS transports (SFF-8087 or SFF-8484) for cabling.
• 4-lane SAS cables carry FOUR SAS links over the same cable.
• Enterprise servers will typically have a SAS backplane for hot-swap hard drives. These backplanes can accommodate SAS and SATA disks. The backplanes also provide power to the drives. It doesn't make sense to run SATA cables to hot-swappable hard drives. Instead, the internal SAS cables will link the controller and the backplane.
• You can mix and match SATA and SAS on the same backplane, but because the protocols are different, bad things. can happen.
