JackBauer Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hey folks. I plan to buy an Supermicro SAS2LP-MV8, and will need some forward breakup cables. There's really only three I found: 3Ware / LSI - no clips holding the SATA's in place http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816116097 Monoprice - where the SATA part of the cables look like junk (reviews support that) http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10254&cs_id=1025406&p_id=8186&format=2 StarTech - looks great, has latching - twice the price http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200884 At this point I'll likely go with the 3Ware / LSI ones - but wondering if anyone is aware of any other products out there? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Nitram Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I am currently using the Monoprice cables that you linked to with a Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 controller in my system. I have used this equipment for about 8 months now, and everything works very well indeed. The SATA connectors do have clips and the connection to the drives are solid at all times. No issues whatsoever. Hope this information helps you somewhat. C. Quote Link to comment
JackBauer Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Thank you - I appreciate the reply. I probably will avoid the monoprice ones though. At this point I'll probably by the 3Ware/LSI ones. The build quality looks better - the sacrifice of not having the clips probably is ok. Quote Link to comment
Fireball3 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I bought a Fujitsu D2607 controller and it came with a set of cables that is very well-thought-out. It's not suitable for connecting backplanes but if you have to connect the bare drive I find this cable very handy. It's a data/power combo plug and it will fit very well. No more worries about loose contact of the SATA cable. Unfortunately you won't find it on Amazon or the like. You have to search for T26139-Y4023-V501 which is the FSC part number. The price is premium but that's worth it to me. Quote Link to comment
Radagast Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I'll second the commendation for the Monoprice cable, I don't see any issues whatsoever. Quote Link to comment
StevenD Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 My new Monoprice cables are due to arrive today. I will let you know how they work out. Quote Link to comment
Fireball3 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Another nice 4-drop combo cable can be found from DELL. The use it in their T110 PowerEdge Servers. It can be found via Dell PN: 42N7H or 0233TD Pretty the same as the FSC cable I mentioned. Quote Link to comment
tdallen Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I use the StarTech cables. They're probably overly expensive, but they are nice. I got one as part of a package and liked it enough to buy a second when I needed it. Quote Link to comment
tdallen Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I'll try to, but I don't think I have a good one from my build so I'll have to get into the server. In the meantime the ones on NewEgg are a decent representation. Quote Link to comment
Fireball3 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Ah, you mean the ones in the first post? Well, that's nothing special. You still have to pull the power cables too. Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I've got the Startech one too. It's like a hydra of regular locking sata cables. Quote Link to comment
