## Overview

The Monoprice 2-meter Mini SAS 26-pin (SFF-8088) male-to-male cable delivers high-speed 6 Gb/s data transfer with rugged 28 AWG wiring and solid metal connectors. Designed for external use in professional data storage environments, it supports SAS and SATA drives, ensuring versatile, reliable, and scalable performance for demanding server and storage setups.

## Description

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is a high-speed data storage interface designed for high-throughput and fast data access. Intended primarily for data storage centers the SAS interface is backwards compatible with SATA. This allows the user to mix more expensive lower-capacity SAS drives for applications that require faster data access and higher reliability with lower-cost higher-capacity SATA drives for applications with lower access speed requirements. Monoprice carries a full line of quality SAS cables with connectors for every possible application both internal and external. This 2 meter long cable uses 28 AWG wires and is intended for external use. It has a 26-pin SFF-8088 male Mini-SAS plug (with release ring) on each end.

Review: Solid, well built, heavy, and reliable - I just completed a ZFS on Linux deployment and am very impressed with the results. There is no better deal than a setup like this: very inexpensive with excellent performance. The components were a Supermicro 847 45 drive 4U chasis, an LSI 9200-8e external SAS card, 2 Monoprice 2M SFF-8088 cables, 10 Hitachi Ultrastar 4TB 7K4000 SAS enterprise drives, and a SanDisk Extreme II 480GB SSD (as high speed L2ARC cache and ZIL). Despite running raidz2 in an 8 drive (+2 hot spares) configuration, I have read speeds of 760 MB/s and write speeds of 330 MB/s (on a Dell PowerEdge R610). I have complete confidence that this performance will scale up to saturate the SAS link with read/write speeds of 1 GB/s as I add in more drives, matching performance of my other (much more expensive, commercially sourced) disk arrays. The content on these disk arrays is being served over NFS via Intel 10 Gigabit Ethernet cards with read speeds to RAM on the clients that are in the 500 MB/s range. The entire setup cost less than 6k for 40TB raw capacity; it's beautiful. Total hardware setup time was about 4 hours one afternoon with two people. There isn't much to say about this SAS cable. I needed two to do SAS multipath, and these fit the bill. I've always wondered why SAS cables cost so much, but I imagine it's because they're so heavy duty. The connectors are all solid metal and weigh a ton. The cable itself is also very thick. I suppose when you're pushing 6 GB/s externally, you can't rely on the cheap and thin cabling that most SATA cables are. Given the price of all the other equipment that these cables are piecing together, this is probably one component you wouldn't want to skimp on.
Review: Rock solid - It works great, and there is not much else to say about a cable when it's working properly. It's one of those things that you expect to just work, and you only really think about it when it's causing problems. I'm using it for an LTO-4 tape drive connected to a workstation. Clicks in tight and secure, disconnects just as easily.
