Host connection

This SMUGDESK cable converts a Mini SAS HD SFF8088 26Pin host port into four eSATA 7Pin female connectors for external storage expansion. It supports 6Gbps data transfer over 28AWG pure copper conductors with a 1m length for flexible server wiring.

External storage builders

Installers connecting external drive enclosures or JBODs to enterprise servers from Supermicro, Dell, HPE or Lenovo will find this harness fits mainstream backplanes. Buyers whose host side uses a different Mini SAS variant or an internal-only connector cannot use this cable.

Interface conversion

The single specification that decides fit is the SFF8088 26Pin Mini SAS HD plug on the host end. If the controller or backplane presents that exact connector, the cable provides four independent eSATA links; otherwise it will not connect.

Questions about this item

What controller port do I need on my server to plug in this SFF8088 Mini SAS HD cable?

You need a Mini SAS HD SFF8088 26Pin port on the server or HBA to connect this cable.

Will the four eSATA connectors on this harness work with my existing 3Gbps eSATA drives?

Yes, the 6Gbps cable is backward compatible so your 3Gbps eSATA drives will operate at their native speed.

How can I verify the 6Gbps link is active after I connect the four drives?

Check the HBA or RAID controller BIOS and OS device manager — each drive should report a 6Gbps SAS link when the cable is seated correctly.
