August 19, 20232 yr Hi, i've just bagged a "Genuine LSI MegaRAID 9211-8i IT Mode" card from eBay. No cables. I'm a bit of a noob and trying to get my first rig together. I read somewhere there are different types of Sata breakout cables. Would anyone be able to point me to the right pair of breakout cables i'm going to need? thanks, Paul.
August 20, 20232 yr If you plan to plug the drives directly to the HBA without any backplane or extender, you will need 'Forward breakout cables' from the appropriate SFF connector from you HBA (probably SFF-8087 in you case ?) to SATA.
