July 9, 201016 yr For $102 US: http://www.provantage.com/supermicro-aoc-saslp-mv8~7SUP918N.htm They also have the forward breakout cables for card to drive setups for $16 US: http://www.provantage.com/3ware-cbl-sff8087ocf-05m~73WAR02N.htm Can't wait for them to show up
July 9, 201016 yr So... say I was to get a Norco case, and I wanted to hook 8 drives up to one of these... how many breakout cables would I need?
July 9, 201016 yr Author So... say I was to get a Norco case, and I wanted to hook 8 drives up to one of these... how many breakout cables would I need? The cable above is for going directly to 4 SATA drives. So you'd need 2 of the other type to go to your Norco case's connectors.
July 9, 201016 yr I got NCIX to match this price and its Canadian. http://www.bestdirect.ca/products/193020/3Ware/CBL_SFF8087OCF_05M/
July 9, 201015 yr Looks like SuperBiiz has them too. $112 - $15 for discount code SUNSHINE15 = $97. Free shipping. But you can only get one at that price, if the coupon code even works. http://www.ewiz.com/query.php?categry=0&s=saslp-mv8

August 14, 201015 yr Author Just a note that the card is performing very well in the video card slot of my Asus MB. I switched the drives around so the full ones (so mostly just reading) are hanging off this card and the emptier ones (need more writing to) are off the 6 ports on the MB.
