Review on πŸ”Œ Cable Matters Internal SFF-8087 to SFF-8482 by Jeffery Pricinoc

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent and reliable connections with the length required for large enclosures.

This is a great SAS cable. The quality is very high, which justifies the above-average price. I was getting "unexpected signals" from my LSI controller and suspected my previous cable wasn't very secure. This cable is very tightly connected to the hard drive. Likewise, the SATA power connector is very tightly connected to the power supply cable. Very secure connections. All of my unexpected sensory messages were resolved. The SATA power connectors are good if you have a large case and the PSU SATA power cables don't reach the front hard drive bays. I would like the SATA cable power leads to be braided, but I see this as a production difficulty. For proper wiring, this cable can be a problem in a small case due to the length of the wiring. Not a scam, just something to note. I want to replace all my SAS cables with this model.

Pros
  • Amateur or professional installers need a direct fanout cable with an internal mSAS connector when expanding storage needs for Storage Area Network (SAN) or Direct Attached Storage (DAS) applications; Robust molded connectors ensure a secure connection; Thin braided ribbon cables with mesh jacket minimize the effects of airflow inside the computer case; Integrated SATA power cables make it easy to see what's connected
Cons
  • Big and bulky
