- Built-in IC chip boosts signal stability for high-speed transmission
- 1-to-4 breakout splits one SFF8644 port into four SATA 7-pin connectors
- Supports up to 6Gbps bandwidth for server HDD, SSD and RAID interconnects
- 28AWG high-purity copper wire ensures low-loss, reliable data transfer
- 5m compact length fits tight server, NAS and external enclosure wiring
Mini SAS HD SFF8644 breakout cable
This .5 metre cable converts a single SFF8644 external Mini SAS HD port into four independent SATA 7pin connectors. A builtin IC chip strengthens signal stability for highspeed transmission. The 28AWG copper conductors support up to 6Gbps bandwidth for server hard drives, SSDs and RAID systems. It is designed for compact server, NAS and external storage enclosure wiring.
Suits administrators expanding internal
Builders who need a longer reach for fullsize rack layouts should look at a different cable length. The fixed .5 metre tail limits placement in larger chassis or between separate enclosures. Users requiring a direct Mini SAS HD to Mini SAS HD link without SATA breakout will not be served by this adapter. Anyone needing a different connector standard must choose another product.
Builtin IC chip and 28AWG copper improve signal
The integrated circuit amplifies the signal across the four SATA branches, reducing errors on longer or noisy runs. Premium copper conductors lower transmission loss compared with thinner wires. Together they maintain the rated 6Gbps throughput to each attached drive. No additional software or drivers are required for operation.

Questions about this item
Does this cable need a controller or backplane with an SFF-8644 Mini SAS HD port to connect four SATA drives?
Yes, the single SFF-8644 Mini SAS HD end plugs into a compatible controller or backplane port, while the four SATA 7-pin connectors attach directly to each drive.
Will the built-in IC chip allow this 6 Gbps breakout cable to work reliably with older 3 Gbps SATA hard drives?
The IC chip stabilises the 6 Gbps signal path, and the SATA interface negotiates down to 3 Gbps automatically, so older drives operate at their native speed without extra configuration.
After connecting the cable, how can I confirm each of the four drives is running at 6 Gbps?
Check the controller BIOS or operating-system disk utility; each drive should report a negotiated link speed of 6 Gbps if the cable and endpoints both support that rate.
