Works best as intended in Computer Accessories & Peripherals

Use this drop cable from the Silverstone RM21-304 backplane to the SATA connectors on ASUS P10S-M WS motherboards. With only 2 drives in the RM21's hot-swap bays, both drives can be configured in Windows Disk Management. Couldn't be happier.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Unfashionable

A NOTICE. This is a REVERSE cable.

Not suitable for connecting multiple hard drives to a Mini-SAS. Luckily I still had the chance to connect the backplane with it, but the cables don't work. Connecting mini-SAS to the backplane and 4 SATA to the motherboard (reverse connection) didn't work for me. I had to send them back.

Pros
  • SATA cable
Cons
  • No instructions

Are these supposed to be good?

These cables should be of good quality. I ordered two sets of 4 cables and tied up $130 for cables that don't work. I got sick and couldn't return in time but Revane told me the seller had a guarantee. I tried twice to contact the seller but have not received a reply for the whole week. I think the killer is that I even tried to confirm they would work for my setup, they didn't respond. I feel totally ripped off RUN FROM THIS SELLER AND THESE CABLES.

Pros
  • Computer Accessories and Peripherals
Cons
  • Exorbitant Price
