You need this cable: https://www.amazon.com/Funtin-SFF-8639-Mini-SAS-SFF-8643-Cable/dp/B01COOQ3MS/ As described, explained and portrayed on the Asus Website: https://rog.asus.com/articles/hands-on/easy-guide-to-ssds-sata-msata-m-2-and-u-2/ **Q: Is there a 0.5m version of this cable with all four sata having latches?** A: Hello Frederico,Unfortunately we don't carry the version you mentioned currently.Please reach support@cablematters.com if you have more questions.Thanks,Cable Matters Support Team **Q: is this 12 Gb/s or 3Gb/s-6Gb/s? the product page is confusing.** A: I've never seen SAS devices that use the standard 7-pin SATA connectors like this cable has. It's always the SFF-8482 which looks similar but has the power connector as well (and is backward compatible with SATA). This cable is for SATA 3 or 6 Gb/sec only. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everyone worked *by M***T on April 3, 2025* Works, thin, be carful.
