July 17, 201114 yr Just ordered two of these from this Ebay vendor. I can't vouch for quality as I have not received them yet. Price is right though! http://cgi.ebay.com/Internal-Mini-SAS-Connector-SFF-8087-4-SATA-/320718340533?pt=COMP_EN_Networking_Components&hash=item4aac4d81b5

The ones at Fry's are decent quality and I'm not afraid of them. Foil wrapped. That's all I know about them.
July 17, 201114 yr Looks exactly like the forward breakout cable my supermicro board came with, seem good. Only thing is seller is a bit strange: Shipping: WILL NOT SHIP TO NEW YORK!!!!! Important information: SOLD AS IS! SOLD AS IS! SOLD AS IS! Doesnt know much about what he is selling, which can play either way, a great deal, or it was in the bottom of the ocean for a while and now up for sale
July 18, 201114 yr So these should (provided they are as described/ pictures) go from a AOC-SASLP-MV8 to 4 SATA drives? Just wanted to check before taking the plunge!
July 18, 201114 yr Author Doing some searching using the info he gave they appear to be geniune 8087 cables. I don't think the seller really knows what they are. The photos look right and if you do a search they look exactly like the Supermicro ones. @christuf - Yes. These would work with that board. I have that board on order and ordered these cables for it. I'll post a review of them as soon as I get them. Looking at the ebay ad it appears 69 of them have been sold and his feedback is solid.

They seem to be like my supermicro ones, which are forward breakout cables so they should go from your AOC-SASLP-MV8 to 4 SATA drives. But only one way to find out.
July 18, 201114 yr Not as cheap (especially in CA w/sales tax)... but I've ordered from Monoprice a few times in the past. Might be a reasonable alternative if you're concerned about the seller. http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10254&cs_id=1025406
July 18, 201114 yr (I don't even have the SATA card yet but couldn't resist a good deal) Fyi, the seller accepted my offer of $4 each for 4 cables.
July 18, 201114 yr Author @Nyago - I looked at Monoprice first (I LOVE that place and have used them for all network / video equipment for the theatre room and the entire basement when I built it out) but they were out of stock with an unknown ETA. I then found the Ebay ones from a google search. I even bought a few in wall speakers from Mono and they sound awesome especially at the price.
July 18, 201114 yr @Nyago - I looked at Monoprice first (I LOVE that place and have used them for all network / video equipment for the theatre room and the entire basement when I built it out) but they were out of stock with an unknown ETA. . Well, that's probably partly my fault because I just ordered some from there last week
July 18, 201114 yr (I don't even have the SATA card yet but couldn't resist a good deal) Fyi, the seller accepted my offer of $4 each for 4 cables. I'am planning to buy 1 or 2 of those cards also in the next few weeks. Somone over here willing to buy 2 or 4? of those cables for me? (and ship them as gift to Belgium) Can pay trough Paypal The cheapest online seller i could find over here in Belgium asks 25 to 30 € a piece.
July 19, 201114 yr Author Hi rembro. Sure. Let me see if I can get 4 for $4 US each. ----- EDIT Made an offer for 4 of them at $4 each.
July 19, 201114 yr Looks like there are 13 outstanding offers for this item! I wonder how many of them are unRAIDers offering $4 a piece?
July 19, 201114 yr Hi rembro. Sure. Let me see if I can get 4 for $4 US each. ----- EDIT Made an offer for 4 of them at $4 each. Thnx Mikechy and Christuff for wanting to help me !! Christuff is from NY , so we will have to wait and see,
July 19, 201114 yr Cool. I don't have any of these cards right now, but it would be good to have a few cables if I ever do
July 19, 201114 yr @Mikechy did he accept your offer for 4 pieces? Only 8 left :-) @Christuff did the ebay-seller respond to you ? willing to ship to NY? if not i will take my chance with Mickechy
July 19, 201114 yr I put in an offer for 4 for $4 as well. If he doesn't accept the offer no big deal, I don't even have the cards and still 3 empty slots in my system.
July 19, 201114 yr When you look at the sold history and pending offers, 17,18 and 19 juli there is pretty much activity :-) would be nice if we UnRaid'ers could get a few.
July 19, 201114 yr Only 6 left now, probably best to just buy them at his asking price if you really do need them.
July 19, 201114 yr Don't need them now but i do in a few weeks , maybe a month . These cables are way overprized here in Belgium. @Mikechy 4 pieces @ 6 dollar each is fine by me also!
July 19, 201114 yr Relisted at $5.50 each http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320730849159#ht_514wt_1396
July 20, 201114 yr Author Ok Rembro. I outright purchased the 4 at $5.50 US. I'll figure out what it will cost to send to Belgium. PM me your address and I'll calculate it.
July 20, 201114 yr My $4 offer X 2 cables was rejected on the $6 auction, just accepted on the $5.50 auction!
