Since I always get confused with SAS and SATA connectors, some tables from Wikipedia:
- Serial Attached SCSI Connectors- Wikipedia
Codename Other names Ext./int. Pins No of devices / lanes Comment Image SFF-8086 Internal mini-SAS, internal mSAS Internal 26 4 This is a less common implementation of SFF-8087 than the 36-circuit version. The fewer positions is enabled by it not supporting sidebands. SFF-8087 Internal mini-SAS, internal mSAS, internal iSAS, internal iPass Internal 36 4 Unshielded 36-circuit implementation of SFF-8086. Molex iPass reduced width internal 4× connector, 12 Gbit/s capability. SFF-8088 External mini-SAS, external mSAS, external iSAS, external iPass External 26 4 Shielded 26-circuit implementation of SFF-8086. Molex iPass reduced width external 4× connector, 12 Gbit/s capability. SFF-8470 InfiniBandCX4 connector, Molex LaneLink External 34 4 High-density external connector (also used as an internal connector). SFF-8482 Internal 29 2 lanes This form factor is designed for compatibility with SATA but can drive a SAS device. A SAS controller can control SATA drives, but a SATA controller cannot control SAS drives. SFF-8484 Internal 32 or 19 4 or 2 High-density internal connector, 2 and 4 lane versions are defined by the SFF standard. SFF-8485 Defines SGPIO (extension of SFF 8484), a serial link protocol used usually for LED indicators. SFF-8613 (SFF-8643) Internal 36 4 or 8 with dual connector Mini-SAS HD (introduced with SAS 12 Gbit/s) SFF-8614 (SFF-8644) External 4 or 8 with dual connector Mini-SAS HD (introduced with SAS 12 Gbit/s) Sideband connector Internal Often seen with 1× SFF-8643 or 1× SFF-8087 on the other end – internal fan-out for 4× SATA drives. Connects the controller to drives without backplane or to the (SATA) backplane and optionally, to the status LEDs. SFF-8680 Internal - 1
- (2 ports)
SAS 12 Gbit/s backplane connector SFF-8639 Internal 68 - 1
- (2 ports)
- SAS 12 Gbit/s backplane connector;
- revision of the SFF-8680.
- Also known as “U.2”.[17]
SFF-8638 - Four 1x ports at up to 24 Gb/s each;
- two 2x ports at up to 48 Gb/s each;
- one 4x port at up to 96 Gb/s.
SFF-8640 - Four 1x ports at up to 24 Gb/s each;
- two 2x ports at up to 48 Gb/s each;
- one 4x port at up to 96 Gb/s.[18]
SFF-8681 - Two 1x ports at up to 24 Gb/s each;
- one 2x ports at up to 48 Gb/s each.
