    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Does (device) in brackets next to the SAS mean maybe thats the backplane side and this is a reverse breakout cable afterall? Shouldn't it say HOST on the SAS side? hmmm... (The package the cable came in says "Int.mini-SAS (device) to-4*SATA cable")

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Hi Alamone, Thanks for the quick reply. I didnt even realize there is such a thing as "reverse" breakout. I thought they're just passive cables - whats the difference? Anyways - the package the cable came in says "Int.mini-SAS (device) to-4*SATA cable". Does the device being mentioned...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Hi Guys, Hoping to get a little assistance from the Areca gurus here. I just picked up an ARC-1880 from ebay and have 4xHitachi 5K3000 2TB drives attached to it. I'm using an SFF-8087(mini-sas) to 4xSATA fanout cable. I've upgraded the Bootrom; Firmware; and BIOS to the latest v1.49...

    OK guys so I spoke to the manufacturer and they are willing to custom make cables to whatever length you want. Also, you can choose the connectors on each end (straight, 90-vertical-down; 90-vertical-up; 90-horizontal-right; 90-horizontal-left). Let me know if anybody is interested, I'm...

    40TB buildout

    Hey I'm in the process of doing a 32TB build and here are my thoughts: I ended up going with a Seasonic X660 which is an 80Plus Gold PSU with 90+% efficiency. I heard at one point that Seasonic actually made Corsair PSU's but I dont know if thats true anymore. The efficiency matters to me...

    I've been talking with the manufacturer and am waiting on pricing for custom length cables. If you want to get in on it let me know what you want and I'll get him to price it out. Anybody else interested in custom length SFF8087 cables/connectors?

    its almost like I need a 90-degree cable that turns out horizontally instead of vertically... anybody seen such a thing?

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    Hi Sweloop64, I thought about that, but the only problem is that all the SFF8087 connectors are lined up vertically on the backplane so I wont be able to plug the connector in below it. i.e. if the black heatwrap after the plastic connector is like the cable I currently have its quite stiff...

    I cant go under because the bar goes all the way to the bottom of the case and is actually screwed down to the bottom of the case. I can only go to the side. How have others dealt with this? Its freakin crazy... I've emailed Norco to see what they have to say...

    OK, here are 3 pics. Sorry they're slightly blurry, my phone camera sucks. Back of the case looking forward: Back of the case looking forward where I've removed the fan and thinking about routing cables. This lines up with the SFF8087 connector on the backplane: Top view of how...

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    Doh! Unfortunately my fans are already on the other side (motherboard side), so that doesn't help :( Hmmm... this seems really bizzare.... maybe my cables are too stiff?? Is the area close to the connector usually very tough to bend? If I remove a fan, how bad would that be for the column of...

    Hey thats a smart idea... so you mean you turned the whole fan assembly around and then mounted the fans on the other side? I'll give that a shot tomorrow and report back. Cheers
