SFF8088 Cable
SFF8088 Cable
This is the kind of cable you need to connect an external SAS HBA to a JBOD like the one I tested. Without the right SFF-8088 cable, you’re not doing anything—so it’s one of those boring but mandatory parts. I used it to hook the Dell box up to the enclosure and get the drives showing up in the OS.
