Straight connector variety is about twice the price, even from Hong Kong:
5x - (5Pack) Mini SAS 36P SFF-8087 to 4 SATA,Mini SAS Controller to 4 Sata HDD 0.5m | eBay
10x - (10Pack) Mini SAS 36P SFF-8087 to 4 SATA,Mini SAS Controller to 4 Sata HDD 0.5m | eBay
Yeah, I can see that being a limiting factor... I'm using a 24 port HP SAS Expander card and won't need to use more than three of the internal ports so I'll take the chance on a 5 pack.
At this price it's worth buying a handful, as long as the lengths (20", 24", 28", & 31") will work with your setup. I personally have 1M cables coiled up and velcro-ed together in one of my short depth cases, so these will work for at least that application.
H/T @Rand__ for his post...
