Intel U.2 cables $9.50

[anoother]

Looks like you can now buy SFF-8643 to SFF-8639 cables direct from Intel: SFF PCle SSD Cable - SSD Spare Parts

These are likely genuine Amphenol items.

Having previously previously paid upwards of £30 per cable, I'd say this was a good deal. Shame it's not available in the UK.

hmmm well this might change some of my thoughts on a couple of builds i am going to do since they also have the U2 to M2 cables available there and i know i can get some of the intel 750 U2 drives for fairly cheap

@anoother it does appear that they do offer shipping to the UK, looks like you would want to get multiple cables however looks like 26$US for shipping one or 30$US for 3 so better deal if you need multiple cables.

I just ordered a couple of the U2 to M2 cables to ship to canada and the cost was 11$US shipping

Great tip! Ordered a few to Sweden. ~40USD shipping.

Awesome find! I was trying to get that genuine U.2 to M.2 cable from 900P, even better that both official cables are much cheaper than decent cables currently exits in the market.

Nice... as a case study in man maths, I might preorder one of the new Realsense kits to make the shipping worthwhile

Got the U2 to M2 cables I ordered in today. They look exactly like the ones I got with my Optane 900p drive

Sorry to revive a dead thread!

Anyone know another source for these cables?

I believe the supermicro store has some

All I see are some OCulink cables. Am I missing something?

I saw those. This was what I was thinking of:

Intel also has m.2 to u.2 for $14.50 U.2 to M.2 SSD cable - Replacement U.2 to M.2 Cable for PCIe* NVMe supporting Intel® Solid State Drives - SSD Spare Parts

From what I've been told, these are a more reliable option. I'd love to see some speed/reliability comparisons but if you have had good experiences with this configuration I'd love to hear more about it.
