I have been scouring the internet all day and I couldn't find what I need so you guys are my last resort.
I have a Dell R710 I received on Wednesday. I have been getting it ready the past two days for FreeNas. I got the H200 flashed into IT mode and everything is good and ready for drives. The only issue I have is the bulls*it Dell restriction on having to move the H200 to the other riser which in turn makes the mini sas cables too short.
So my dilemma is that after hours of scouring the internet I was not able to find a Mini SAS SFF-8087 to Mini SAS SSF-8087 with a right angle connector that is a meter long. I couldn't find any in the first place and most of the others I could find that long were like 50 bucks a pop which is retarded.
Anyway I was able to find a straight affordable one meter cable that would work thanks to these forums I just hope to God that there is enough clearance for them to be able to bend sideways. http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=102&cp_id=10254&cs_id=1025410&p_id=8189&seq=1&format=2
If I'm that unfortunate and they won't work either do you guys have any affordable suggestions for me that would work. These are the OEM ones just for reference. http://www.disctech.com/PERC-H700i-to-R710-SAS-Backplane-Cable
If anyone could direct me to what I need I would be very grateful.
Also I looked for these also but couldn't find anything but if there is an extender cable like 6 inches long that I could add onto the cables I already have that would work too.
