May 8, 2014 #2 O omniscence [H]ard|Gawd Joined Jun 27, 2010 Messages 1,311 You need are reverse break-out/fan-out cable. Just connecting a forward break-out cable backwards will not work. Like this: http://www.amazon.com/SIIG-Mini-SAS-SFF-8087-Reverse-Fanout/dp/B00C8F0U46 It should specifically state "reverse". As an Amazon Associate, HardForum may earn from qualifying purchases.
