miniSAS to 4x SAS cables
please help me find a cable that is miniSAS out to 4x SAS. remember that SAS connectors combine the power and the data so I believe the cable will need to include a way for the drive to get power.
the miniSAS end will connect to this: areca ARC-1223-8I PCI-Express 2.0 x8 Low Profile S... come to think of it, that card might have regular SAS and not miniSAS but since it can handle 8 ports I assume it is miniSAS since that has the ability to break out to 4 lanes. |

im thinking something along the lines of this but I think miniSAS.
3ware CBL-SAS8087OCF-06M 0.6m (SFF-8087) SAS/SATA ... do you think the card i posted has 2 SAS ports or 2 miniSAS ports? |

Get this one instead if you haven't purchased...it comes with the cables.
areca ARC-1223-8I-MS PCI-Express 2.0 x8 Low Profil... Otherwise, yes, miniSAS cables. Quote:

^ It comes with some SATA breakout cables. I believe he's looking for SFF-8482 breakout cables like the one he linked earlier.

   Try Directron. They usually have this sort of stuff in stock. I use CDW for this sort of stuff, and I think they are Canada-only. Most retailers that deal with big business and Gov-type stuff will have what you need. Expect to pay a bit more though, I suspect, probably around $50 or so a set, perhaps? EDIT: like this? http://www.cdw.ca/shop/products/Star...d/2806041.aspx or do you need molex?

Stuff like this I often buy on eBay direct from Asia for a much better price. Recently got two nice blue with black sleeving mini-SAS to 4xSATA cables for $7 (for both).
