The ejector ring

The ring used to remove the 8088 connection from the HBA connector broke immediately with minimal effort. It doesn't matter much as I don't expect to change them often but didn't give an overall impression of out of the box quality. It looks like the electrical part is working fine so far.

Pros
  • snapped into place immediately. It has a 26-pin Mini-SAS SFF-8088 external connector (with trigger ring) on one end and 4x 7-pin SATA connectors on the other.
Cons
  • Fits

Both sizes work fine, although the SATA specification is only for .

I took two of these, one of each size. Both sizes work fine, although the SATA specification is meter compliant. This was tested with my RocketStor 6328L and 8 drives of different manufacturers, sizes, both solid state and spinning. ICY DOCK Dual Bay 2.5 to 3.5 SATA / SAS SSD / HDD Hot Swap Trayless Docking Station / 3.5" Drive Bay Mobile Rack - flexiDOCK MB522SP-B Even this floppy drive bay adapter worked with it. I trust their quality to boot from my support external array on my MacBook Pro.

Pros
  • Mini SAS guarantees 3.0 Gb/s performance. This SAS cable is equipped with SFF-8088 type Mini SAS connectors and internal SATA connectors. This cable connects the SFF-8088 Mini-SAS controller directly to 4 SATA drives.
Cons
  • Weight

Works with internal SATA drives without an adapter.

Connected to LSI LSI00276 and 4 internal SATA drives. I used this on a Solaris VM running on ESXi (vt-d migrates to a Solaris machine) and had zfs mirrors set up and working. One reviewer claimed that you need some sort of adapter to connect to internal SATA drives, but I plugged it in directly with no issues. Works perfectly!

Pros
  • Cable length 1 meter
Cons
  • Reliability
