Where can I find this cable for a perc 5i? (SAS-SATA)

[fritzman]

Okay... I am building a server for a mate, and am using a Chenbro 3RU horswap case.

Trouble is, there is insufficient room to put the normal SAS - SATA cable-set onto the top of the card... I wouldn't be able to put the lid on.

I have found a couple of references to a right-angled SAS connector that seems to go to 4 x SATA plugs, but I can't find any 1m ones in stock, and need them fairly smartly.

Here is the link to what I found... https://www2.qualest.co.jp/cgi-bin/item.cgi?item_id=SAS84RA7PF10&ctg_id=SATASASCBL&page=1

Hoping someone can find me a couple to order.

Thanks team.

never seen them honestly.

I've also never seen them. The servers that they came with were straight as the board laid parallel with the motherboard. Any right angle ones would have to be completely custom.

Thanks guys.

Gave CS Electronics a call this morning (cs-electronics.com) and they had them in stock. $176 delivered for a pair... not bad for a specialist product.

To be honest, I'd sell the controller and go with something that would fit. :-/

I looked at that, but out here in the boonies... a half-height card to run 8 SATA drives would set me back much much more, and I already had a perc 5i here with bbu.

Ah, then that makes sense.

Didn't see you were way out there.

Would it be cheaper to post in the classifieds to have a middle-man ship it to you? I'm not sure how US -> New Zealand shipping rates are though...

Cheers.. $80 shipping wasn't too bad given that it will be here Friday.

You paid over 150$ for 2 cables? Is that right? Wow, and here is me saving up for a new case and MB :L
