I have been over this again and i am sure this is what i need.

 

The only thing i think i need confirmation on is the SATA cables.

 

Can anyone just double check this for me.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi guys.

 

Can anyone confirm the setup? I really wish to purchase the parts tomorrow.

 

Thanks in advance

You have chosen the correct parts, those will all work together.  The key to choosing the right breakout cable is to look at the model number:

 

CBL-SFF8087OCF-05M

 

In this case, the F stands for 'forward', which is exactly what you want.  Go ahead with your purchase (and remember that you'll need 2 of the cables to make use of all 8 ports on the SASLP card).

 

Some people find the fans in the Norco drive cages a bit loud.  Check my prototypes thread (link in my sig) for a suggested replacement fan.

Thanks for the reply.

 

Everything is now on order. Thanks again
