Need help finding breakout cables for my rig


Recommended Posts

So I'm building a new setup using Raj's 12 drive build with a few modifications. I'll list my build below. The breakout cables he recommends appears to be sold out everywhere

 

(0.5m 30AWG Internal Mini SAS 36pin (SFF-8087) Male w/ Latch to SATA 7pin Female (x4) Forward Breakout Cable)

 

Can anyone help me find an alternative that's in stock?

I am in the same boat as you.  Just bought the 3M Ware ones from Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-Hot-New-LSI-3Ware-CBL-SFF8087OCF-05M-SFF-8087-Discrete-Breakout-Cable-/270914499419#vi-content

 

You can also get them at Newegg for a few bucks more: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816116097

 

Appears to be a shortage of the ones from Monoprice, as other retailers that sell the same cable are out of stock as well.  Not about to wait 2 months for stock to come in to save a few bucks.
