Some problems but they work.

They seem to be working. Pass power through pin 3, which is used for power off in some drives. May not be a problem depending on power supply and hard drives. I had to glue pin 3 on my rims for them to work. The ones with Molex power are probably the wiser buy.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...

Works as expected - Mini SAS cable

When I received the item one of the cables was quite kinked. All cables seem to work and they work well, just wish the packaging was a little better.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • disappears

I have a high drive density (>40 drives) file server consisting of all SATA drives and cables . I recently replaced my SATA drives with SAS and needed a quick and dirty solution to connect the SAS drives to my RAID controller. with one of these $14 cables and replace the entire cable assembly (reducing the cost of the connector to about $3.50). So I went with a replacement cable since it was about half the price. All in all I bought 4 of these and I currently have about 10 drives that work…

Pros
  • Ideal for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Disk "Error " in a year

About a year later I started noticing drive failures. It was a suspicious number of drives that failed at the same time, and they all shared a common cable. In the end, I found that it was this cable that was causing intermittent connectivity issues. I bought a new cable, there were no problems.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Dear

Good price for quality cables

I found a good deal on little used SAS hard drives but I needed a mini SFF SAS cable. This device did its job and now I have a lot more room for TV shows!

Pros
  • Well made
Cons
  • For seniors

Works unreliably

Bought two of these to connect 8 drives from an LSI SAS card. They work most of the time, but I get a lot of SCSI and SMART errors. One of the two I bought never worked properly and I replaced it with a competitor's product on Amazon after a month or two. The other one kept giving me drive errors and after a little over a year I replaced it too. My server is now very happy and I can do a lot of file I/Os without disk errors or server crashes.

Pros
  • Reminder
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled

Will not power SAS drives.

I don't often write reviews but people should be warned about particularly inferior products. Tried to connect a SAS3 drive to an LSI 9211-8i with this cable. Nothing. No power, no device detection. Replaced the LSI controller with an Adaptec RAID controller and encountered the same problem. I connected a SATA drive to both controllers using a different cable and the same power connector I used for this cable and had no problems. Finally tried a SAS drive on a Supermicro server with a SAS2…

Pros
  • Mini SAS SAS Cable
Cons
  • Damaged

I have a file server with high density drives (>40 drives) consisting of all SATA drives and -cables. I recently replaced my SATA drives to SAS and I needed a quick and dirty solution to connect the SAS drives to my RAID controller. Option 1 was to use SAS port adapters (about $6 per port) and keep my existing SATA cables. , or use one of those $14 cables and replace the entire cable assembly (reducing the cost of the connector to about $3.50). So I went with a replacement cable since it was

Pros
  • Controller to SATA drives
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
