flimflamman Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 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?

johnand Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
