Target Use and Limitations

It suits integrators linking internal RAID controllers or HBAs to external storage enclosures using SAS connections. Buyers who need a different connector family, a passive adapter without power conversion, or a form factor not listed here should look elsewhere.

Decisive Specification

The changer type is PCIe Gen4 and it complies with SFF-9402 Rev 1.1, SFF-TA-8613 R 3.5 and SFF-TA-8614 R 3.4. This defines the signal integrity and mechanical interface for the conversion.
