Looking at replacing my SAS2 backplane with a SAS3+4NVME backplane in my SM 216 chassis and it will need 4x NVME cables from my 2x SM NVME AOCs. I've had these AOCs for a couple years now and I purchased the (stupid) expensive adapter cables to plug directly into the NVME drives... now I need the same connection on both ends.
- Is a HD Mini-SAS3 cable the same as NVME? I recall someone testing this but can't find it.
- If not, does anyone have a part# or source for the NVME variant that uses the same connectors?
- And while I'm waiting for sales rep to get back to me... does anyone know if the SM Backplane when purchased separate/retail come with any cables by chance?
- Does anyone recall if the SM AOC come with this cable? It's been so long I may have them thrown in a box since they were no use... LOL.
Yes, I know some answers I will get from my rep but I figure this info is good for everyone to know going forward as SAS and NVME become more popular.
