Hi all, I’ve bought 2 Dell H310 6gbps SAS HBA controlelr with cables, but the cables have the wrong connectors (for me). They have this:

While my drives have this one:

What’s the name of those 2 so that I can sell mine and buy new ones? …or should I just cut the side of these and power supply connectors? 🤔

😆 You’re right! I was so mad with myself for the wrong purchase that I couldn’t think about anything! By the way, thanks!

Looks like OP might need SFF-8482 type connectors?

Yes, 8087 to 8482. Thanks

The cable one is just a regular SATA connector, since SAS HBAs can also control SATA drives (but not vice versa).

I believe the connector you are looking for is called SFF-8482. It is available in backplane and cable versions.
