The data side carries SAS or SATA signaling; the power side is bridged from a Molex lead — which is why this cable includes the four Big4pin power inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use SATA drives with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually yes: many SFF-8482 plugs include the SATA bridge notch so a SATA drive can be mated, and SAS controllers accept SATA targets. Check your drive's connector before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a backplane?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — that is the point of this cable. It is for direct-attach builds where drives are reachable without a backplane. If your chassis has a backplane with SlimSAS inputs, a straight SlimSAS cable is the better fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it run NVMe drives?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. SFF-8482 and this assembly are SAS\/SATA.
