SMUGDESK Mini SAS HD SFF8644 Female with Latch to 4×SATA 7Pin Cable .5m 12Gbps

SKU CH-R1YC-PTCYM

Connects a latched SFF-8644 female port to four SATA drives at 12 Gbps over 0.5 m

  • Secure latch on SFF8644 connector prevents accidental disconnection
  • One SFF8644 female port expands to four SATA 7pin drives
  • Steady 12Gbps bandwidth handles enterprise HDDs and SSDs
  • Locked structure maintains signal integrity during long server runs
  • Compact .5m length allows tidy internal routing in dense chassis

Mini SAS HD SFF8644 breakout cable

This .5 meter cable converts a single SFF8644 female port into four SATA 7pin connections for storage expansion. It is built for RAID controllers, workstations and enterprise servers that need to connect multiple drives from one controller port. The secure latch design keeps the connection firm during continuous operation.

12Gbps SAS bandwidth and SATA drive limits

The cable supports steady 12Gbps transmission for SAS and SATA hard drives or SSDs. Each attached SATA device will operate at its native SATA speed, so the 12Gbps link is shared across the four ports rather than delivered per drive. The SFF8644 interface is intended for internal server backplanes and RAID cards, not for external enclosures.

Latched connector and short length for dense builds

The SFF8644 female end uses a durable latch-locked structure that prevents accidental disconnection in vibration-prone racks. At .5 meter the cable allows tidy internal routing inside high-density chassis without excess slack. Builders needing longer reach between controller and backplane, or those requiring an SFF8644 male plug, will need a different cable.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the .5m or 19.68in version for my server build?

Both measurements describe the same cable length, so choose whichever unit you prefer for internal routing.

What does the 12Gbps rating deliver when the cable is installed in a RAID controller?

It provides up to 12Gbps bandwidth per lane for connected SATA drives, limited by the slowest device in the chain.

How does the SFF8644 interface cap performance in practice?

The SFF8644 connector carries four SAS lanes at 12Gbps each, but SATA drives attached to the breakout will run at their native SATA speeds.
