Need help finding the right cable (SlimSAS to X4 SAS3)

[TheSilentTroubadour]

The Controller:
Broadcom 9500-8i card

The Drives:
WD Ultrastar DC HC550 18TB SAS 12GB/s 3.5" HDD WUH721818AL520 X4

I already got the wrong cable (Mini instead of Slim) and now I'm confused (probably from lack of sleep too) to 4 of my drives. I'll appreciate any help with finding the right cable, prefer from Amazon or eBay.

Are you going directly from the HBA to the drives, or are you going through some kind of backplane (either as part of the chassis, or maybe an icydock or equivalent or so)?

Connect directly from the HBA to the drives.

Unless Broadcom requires proprietary cables, I think this is it, just search for those two SFF numbers to find other options, this probably isn't the best price or shipping or whatever: SlimSAS SFF-8654 4i to 4 SFF-8482 All-in-one Cable

Wrong!!
LSI 9500-8i has a single SFF-8654 **8i** connector.

Ah, right, missed that.

So SFF-8654-8i to 8*SATA.

Also, Wrong! (see Post #1).

SFF-8654 8i SLIMSAS to 8x SFF-8482 + 4P Power Cable PCI-E4.0 12G 80cm NVMe U.2 Alright 8i and SFF-8482, costs more than the last 9400 HBA I bought, cables for which are much more common.

I might be wrong, but don't I need SFF-8680 for the drives?

As I understand it basically every SFF 8482 connector complied with the 8680 spec before SFF 8680 was published so they're mostly still called 8482, if the cable says 12G then it should be fine.

Yes, that cable is correct. [ @TheSilentTroubadour the SFF-8482 connector works for both SAS & SATA]
Better to buy it from its manufacturer [Ceacent] and save $20+ [Link] .
