So I finally got the missing cable in to do the remaining clean up on the connectors. So I just spent $113 in connectors and cables to replace $30 ones but it is significantly more secure.
I added
2 - Two Ports Mini SAS SFF-8088 To SAS 36Pin SFF-8087 PCBA Female Adapter With PCI for $41
2 - Mini SAS 36P SFF-8643 to SAS 36P SFF-8087 Raid Data Server Cable 50cm US for $20
2 - CABLEDECONN Mini SAS26P SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 1M External Cable Attached SCSI for $32
2 - BORSVAEN Mini SAS to SATA Cable (SFF-8087 36Pin Male to 4 SATA 7Pin Female),Mini SAS Host to 4 SATA Target Hard Disk Data Cable - 0.5M for $20
TO REPLACE
2 CableDeconn Mini SAS 26P SFF 8088 Male to 4 SATA 4Pin Female 2m 6.6FT Cable with Latch,Mini SAS Host/Controller to 4 SATA Target/Backplane for $30
To mount this in the DAS I just took a half height pci bracket that came with the card and bent the tab back, drilled two holes and I was in business. I’ll post the final specs in the gallery.
