I'm using this cable to connect 4 1200.2 SAS3 SSD's to my LSI HBA (3008). They connect at SAS3 (12Gbps) speeds as verified by SeaTools and Hard Disk Sentinel. As these are SAS drives, they do not show up in CrystalDiskInfo.
I'm getting 1100 MB/s read and 900 MB/s write speed per SSD. My drives are rated for 1900MB/s read and 850MB/s write. The reason for the lower read speed is because these cables only provide a single SAS3 channel to each SAS3 drive, so roughly maxing out that single channel. To see the full 1900MB/s read, I would need to use a different cable that provides 2 SAS3 channels to each drive, and run in dual channel mode. But that would mean I would only be able to connect 2 SAS3 drives per SFF-8643 cable, instead of 4 which this cable provides.
Initially, the drives would not show up, and I thought the cable was defective. It turns out that my SSD's have the Power Disable feature on the 3.3V pins, so they power down if voltage is detected. Just cut the 3.3V pins from my PSU going to the SATA connectors and the drives are working.

Cable works great! PWDIS strikes again.
I ran into an issue similar to other reviewers where my SAS drive would not power on. Upon inspection, I found that my power supply was sending 3.3 volts on pin 3 of the sata power supply. This was fine with older drives but the new Power Disable feature on pin 3 of my fancy new 6TB 12 Gb/s SAS Seagate drive, it was stuck in a hard reset loop never allowing it to even begin spinning and looking like it didn't have power. Instead of returning a perfectly fine cable/drive/card and purchasing a new cable with a molex connector (doesn't have 3.3v), clipping the 3.3v power pin somewhere, or using a different adapter that removes the 3.3 volt; I simply covered power pin 3 on the drive with Kapton tape. Black electrical tape might have worked but it's a little thicker, gummier, and I have a roll of fancy Kapton electrical tape for my fancy drive. Because pin 1 and 2 are unused (reserved for future 3.3v features), I was a bit sloppy with covering pin 3 and also covered pin 2 and some of pin 1. Plugged it in and now the drive is as happy as a clam at high tide.

The retention clip does not flex enough to release the cable. It broke the connector on my HBA - I tried everything, even carefully inserting a spudger, to get it to release safely. I have cables from other vendors that all release fine. This cheap cable has cost me more than it’s worth.
DO NOT BUY! Will not release from (some) SAS ports
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2024
Also, it worked fine for SATA drives, but seems to require a modification to work with SAS drives that my other cables do not need. I wouldn’t mind too much if it weren’t for the connector fit / release issue.
I had already installed several of these before I found the problem. I hope I can get the rest of them removed safely and returned.
