I have 100 genuine cables. Though a good amount are already sold.
I might even write a comparison article (similar to my previous Intel i350 NIC article) later if there is a demand as I currently have a few counterfeit cables along with my authentic cables. The vast majority of even the most experienced Sys Admins will not even notice a difference. Remember, if sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
More or less, these are the same cables as bundled with the Intel 750 SSD and produced in the same factory on the same machinery by the same workers with the same components — including Amphenol connectors on both sides, Amphenol wiring, Amphenol sleeving, and everything else in between. Every connector and wire is marked with the brand name of Amphenol. Authentically Genuinely Amphenol. If you want a cable for a NVMe SSD, there currently only is 1 dependable brand of choice. Which unfortunately is not mass produced, nor are there any current plans to as far as I was told. The majority of the authentic cables on the market came from Intel 750 SSDs. I was told Intel custom ordered these cables from Amphenol themselves according to their demands since there is no officially ratified specification. Remember, these copper cables are transmitting your PCIe lanes over them. Your storage data that is.
If you want an authentic Amphenol NVMe U.2 cable you currently have 3 choices. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
1) Buy an Intel 750 SSD, use the cable and resell the SSD.
2) Place an order from Amphenol for ~100 cables.
3) Since this page appears in Google near the top, and many of you have already registered just to PM me. Contact me for a cable order, and yes I will ship internationally (with very cheap international pricing) — see instructions at the very last sentence. I have not set the exact pricing per cable yet as of writing of this post (12/15/2015). Most likely I will have a number set tomorrow if not the next. But it will be very competitive — within any competitor's pricing if not better. Just a warning, if you are interested, do not wait around as I already a line of people waiting to order and a good amount already spoken for. If you are interested in a cable, send me a PM with the amount of cables you wish to purchase, your zip code (or international country), and your e-mail. I have started to receive a large influx of PMs with questions of people interested. I will soon be replying. To make things go smoothly and organized, make sure you have followed the above directions I stated. It will ensure for me to help keep track of things accordingly. The more organized your PM are, the easer it will be for everyone.
Q&A
Q: Will this cable work on an Intel P3700 SSD?
A: Yes, it works perfectly.
Q: Can I use these cables with SAS HDDs, SSDs, or controller cards?
A: No.
Q: Are there any NVMe HBA cards for these?
A: Supermicro currently makes two various models.
Q: Will this work in my XYX motherboard.
B: Does it support NVMe? And/or does it have any M.2 to U.2 adapters? And/or Is it a new(er) chipset? And/or do you plan to buy a NVMe HBA? More then likely the answer is yes. However, I do not guarantee any compatibility issues for every single combination, but do I gaurantee the general use case for these cables and said cable quality.
Have anymore technical questions to ask that you want answered? Message me and I will reply & update this post. There is no such thing as a dumb answer.
- These are not the cheap and highly incompatible aftermarket 3rd party cables.
- These are not the PCIe adapter that causes your SSD to overheat due to a lack of airflow.
- These are not the weird overpriced PCB hybrid adapter cable.
- Most importantly — these are not cheap counterfeit Amphenol cables — which I recently discovered.
