MINI SAS 36P SFF 8087 to 4 SATA3 6G Array Card 1 Change 4 Data Connection Server Cables

0.5 m SFF-8087 to 4 SATA 7PIN, MINI SAS line 4i to SATA,

Support 4X 6Gbps bandwidth.

The SFF-8087 interface is mainly used on the MINI SAS 4i array card as an internal SAS cable.

This adapter cable supports data transmission of four channels of 6Gbps*4Lane with a transmission rate of 24Gbps.

SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is a new generation of SCSI technology. It is the same as the popular Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk. It uses serial technology to achieve higher transmission speed and shortens the connection line. Improve interior space and more. SAS is a new interface developed after the parallel SCSI interface. This interface is designed to improve the performance, availability, and scalability of your storage system and provides compatibility with SATA drives.

SAS interface technology is backward compatible with SATA. Specifically, the compatibility between the two is mainly reflected in the compatibility between the physical layer and the protocol layer. At the physical layer, the SAS interface and the SATA interface are fully compatible. The SATA hard disk can be directly used in the SAS environment. From the interface standard, SATA is a sub-standard of SAS, so the SAS controller can directly control the SATA hard disk, but SAS However, it cannot be directly used in the SATA environment, because the SATA controller cannot control the SAS hard disk; at the protocol layer, the SAS consists of three types of protocols, and the corresponding protocols are used for data transmission according to different connected devices. The Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP) is used to transfer SCSI commands; the SCSI Management Protocol (SMP) is used to maintain and manage connected devices; and the SATA Channel Protocol (STP) is used to transfer data between SAS and SATA. Therefore, with the cooperation of these three protocols, SAS can be seamlessly integrated with SATA and some SCSI devices.
