  • TypeMini SAS A1 B1 RAID Cable
  • ColorBlack
  • Genuine Dell OEM part ensures compatibility
  • Designed for 24-bay PowerEdge R730xd servers
  • Dual Mini SAS connectors support RAID configurations
  • High-speed data transfer for storage reliability
  • Precise OEM length reduces cable clutter

Cable Purpose

The Dell 8T05V Mini SAS RAID cable connects the RAID controller to the 24-bay backplane inside a Dell PowerEdge R730xd server. It is built for system administrators who need a genuine OEM replacement or upgrade part for this specific chassis. The dual Mini SAS design matches the factory routing for the 24-bay configuration. Without this exact cable the storage array cannot communicate with the controller.

Sustained Operation

The cable maintains stable, interference-free operation during continuous data transfers between the controller and the backplane. Its durable construction resists degradation from vibration and thermal cycles inside a populated 24-bay chassis. Precise OEM length reduces cable clutter, which helps airflow remain consistent around the drives during prolonged workloads. Reliable connectivity prevents controller errors that can appear only after hours of sustained I/O.

Compatibility Constraint

This part fits only Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-bay servers. Builders using a different chassis, a different bay count, or a non-Dell platform cannot use this cable. The dual Mini SAS A1 B1 pinout is unique to this model and will not align with other backplanes or controllers. Verify the exact server model and bay population before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the 8T05V cable add noticeable heat or power draw when the R730xd runs 24/7?

The cable is a passive Mini SAS link between the RAID controller and the 24-bay backplane, so it draws no power of its own and generates no measurable heat during continuous operation.

What server and backplane must already be in place for the 8T05V to function?

The cable is built for the Dell PowerEdge R730xd 24-bay chassis and connects the RAID controller directly to that backplane using dual Mini SAS connectors.

Will the 8T05V fit if I keep the original backplane in my R730xd?

Yes, the cable is an OEM replacement designed to the exact length and connector layout for the factory 24-bay backplane in the R730xd.
