High-performance mini-sas external HD Cable for connecting San devices This four-channel InfiniBand Cable connects two storage devices with external mini-sas HD SFF-8644 connectors, such as 12G RAID controllers, SATA hard drives, enclosures and JBOD devices. It supports data transfer rates up to 12 Gbps, which is faster than eSATA, USB 3. 0 and Thunderbolt cables. The high-density connectors are surrounded by durable die-cast zinc that is compatible with shielded external connectors. Protective caps defend the connectors against dust and damage. Convenient pull-tabs make it easy to disconnect the cable in crowded racks and other applications. The S528-01M is backward compatible with previous SAS versions to ensure compatibility with your devices.
