Dual-Port SAS Adapter for External

This Vszerda adapter converts two external Mini SAS SFF-8088 26-pin host connectors to two internal SFF-8087 36-pin device connectors. It is built for system integrators and storage administrators who need to connect external SAS enclosures to internal RAID controllers or HBAs. The board mounts in a standard full-height PCI bracket slot and operates at up to 6Gb/s per lane.

Passive Copper Construction With No Active Cooling

The adapter uses a copper conductor and PCBA construction with no onboard active components. It draws no auxiliary power and generates negligible heat, adding no acoustic load to the chassis. Because it is purely passive, thermal performance depends entirely on the host system airflow across the bracket area.

Bracket Mounting Frees Internal Drive Bays

The full-height PCI bracket secures the external ports to the rear of the case, leaving internal drive bays and motherboard headers unoccupied. It accepts SFF-8087 to SATA octopus cables, SFF-8087 to SAS octopus cables, or SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 Mini SAS cables. A low-profile bracket is also included for small-form-factor builds. Builders who need active signal regeneration or protocol conversion beyond 6Gb/s will require a different solution.

Questions about this item

How is the adapter mounted, and which bracket do I fit first?

Fasten the chosen bracket to the PCBA, then insert the assembly into a free PCI slot; the low-profile bracket suits slim cases while the standard bracket fits full-height chassis.

What wear item will eventually need replacement?

The copper conductors and SFF-8087/SFF-8088 connectors are passive and rated for the life of the build; no scheduled replacement is required.

What throughput ceiling appears first during sustained transfers?

The link tops out at 6Gb/s per Mini SAS lane, so sustained throughput cannot exceed that signalling rate.
