SlimSAS Cables: Compact High-Speed Solution for Internal Data Storage
07/02/2025

If you're working with high-density servers or enterprise storage systems, SlimSAS cables are quickly becoming the new standard for internal data connectivity. Designed for maximum performance in a compact form, SlimSAS delivers exceptional signal integrity and ultra-fast data transfer rates—making it the ideal solution for modern storage infrastructure.

What Is a SlimSAS Cable?

SlimSAS stands for Slim Serial Attached SCSI. It’s an industry-standard interface defined by the SFF (Small Form Factor) Committee, designed to replace older, bulkier internal SAS connectors. SlimSAS supports data transfer rates of up to 24Gb/s per lane, making it perfect for:

  • Connecting SAS and SATA drives
  • NVMe storage integration
  • High-speed internal links between controllers and backplanes

Its small footprint enables more connections in tight spaces—exactly what’s needed in today’s high-density data centers and enterprise server environments.

SlimSAS 4i and Internal Cable Options

Data Storage Cables offers a curated selection of internal SlimSAS 4i cables, including:

  • SlimSAS 4i to HD Mini SAS
  • SlimSAS 4i to SATA (X4 breakout)
  • SlimSAS 4i to SAS drive X4
  • SlimSAS 4i to SlimSAS 4i

These internal SlimSAS assemblies are engineered for reliability, with low-loss materials, robust EMI shielding, and secure locking connectors to ensure stable data flow in even the most demanding environments.

Bonus: SlimSAS 8i Options

Looking for higher lane counts? Our SlimSAS 8i (SFF-8654) cables provide 8-lane internal connectivity for maximum throughput. Popular configurations include SlimSAS 8i to 8x SATA, 2x U.2, 4x SAS Drive, and internal HD MiniSAS breakouts—perfect for high-performance computing systems in space-constrained environments.

Why Choose SlimSAS Cables?

SlimSAS internal cables offer several advantages over traditional options:

  • High-speed support: Up to 24Gb/s per lane (SAS-4 / PCIe Gen 4)
  • Space-saving design: Ideal for compact server builds
  • Versatile applications: SAS, SATA, and PCIe NVMe connectivity
  • Improved airflow and cable management: Especially critical in dense rack systems

Whether you're upgrading an existing system or designing a new one, SlimSAS is a future-proof choice for internal server and storage connectivity.
