use a SFF-8088 cable breakout to 4 individual sata connectors


The SAS Cable, External SFF-8088 cable from ATTO Technology is an internal Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS cable. It is for use with all internal ATTO SAS/SATA Host and RAID adapters and is RoHS compliant This is the most common external multilane connector type. However, unlike SFF-8087, where the top cards often have four or six connectors, SFF-8088 cable usually comes with only one or two connectors per controller. This is because a single SFF-8088 cable connector on a SAS Expander-enabled controller can connect to a large SAS Expander-enabled enclosure, which can then be daisy-chained.Before the popularity of SAS Expanders, people had to use SFF-8088 cable adapters to convert unused internal ports into external ports. This is still common for SATA controllers, or SAS controllers that are not being used with a SAS Expander setup.
