Perfect fit and length for my HBA and backplane.

I bought these cables to connect an LSI host bus adapter board to a hot swap backplane in my new SilverStone chassis. They were the perfect length and firmly attached to the connectors at both ends. Nothing more to say than that I haven't had any problems in the 160 days since installing it.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Expensive

One cable out of 6 was defective.

I have ordered a total of six cables from this brand. 5 of them worked great. On one of these, I encountered read and write errors on one of the four drives.

Pros
  • cables and connections
Cons
  • thin

After replacing those cables with CableCreation cables, I…
