What cable do I require for SFF-8087 to SAS

The connector you're looking for, to plug into your SAS drives, is SFF-8482.

So you will shop for a cable with SFF-8087 on one end and (multiple) SFF-8482 on the other.


Are you doing this in a non-HP server without a backplane? HISS!!

This is not an ideal arrangement if so, and you'll need to be careful.

The only cables I'd use for this are HP's branded SAS breakout cable or the LSI SAS breakout cable. How do you plan to power the drives? The LSI cable (pictured below) has power injector ports for regular 4-pin Molex power cables.
