Hi, If i'm connecting 8 SATA drives directly, What kind of cable i need for this card?

I used two of the 3WARE Cable, 1 Unit Of 1 Meter Multi-lane Internal (SFF-8087) Serial Ata Breakout cables sold on amazon's site. They keep your cabling neat and have plenty of length to easily plug in hard drives in the largest case sizes. Hope this helps.

1 Unit Of 1 Meter Multi-lane Internal (SFF-8087) Serial Ata Breakout cable for each set of four hard drives or for 8 hard drives use 2 Units Of 1 Meter Multi-lane Internal (SFF-8087) Serial Ata Breakout cable.

The cables you need are in the box. Two "hydra" cables with (4) heads each.

Hey Jim be sure to pick up a couple 4 pin molex to sata adapters. You will need them to make extra sata conecters.

Previous helpers don't understand the question, SATA 3 6GB/S is a data cable.... You don't need to buy any special power cable, recent power supply, come with these connectors. Wouldn't be healthy for your new HDD, if you are planning to use an old or low quality power supply

No, I don't think so as the only connecting cable uses a specific USB 3.0 motherboard-capable connector. I do not remember seeing any ports for SATA connectivity.

Yes, it will work with any Sata based drive. There isn't a speed difference between sata cables, so go for style more than anything

This is a USB3 HUB (it only "extends" USB3, NOT provide it)AND it has nothing to do with SATA so you will never need an SATA cable.It will plug into an existing USB3 socket OR comes with a 19 pin cable toconnect to a Mother Board socket or add-in card.PS: The product description leaves a lot to be desired.More pictures would be a big plus.

It takes a standard SATA power cable. Your power supply probably already has these (they look like little black connectors with a slit in them). If it doesn't, and you only see white connectors with holes in them (MOLEX connectors) you can purchase an adapter for it.

You need a standard SATA cable, such as this: Monoprice 18-Inch SATA III 6.0 Gbps Cable with Locking Latch and 90-Degree Plug - Blue and a 2.5" SSD to 3.5" HDD mounting kit, such as this one: 2.5-inch SSD / HDD to 3.5-inch Bracket Mount Adapter

Two of the power cables have SATA connectors. Others are 4 pin Molex which can be used for SATA with an appropriate adapter that costs about $3.00.

You need to power the card. I bought two 4 port cards and powered them off the SATA power in bay 4. They work flawlessly on my 5,1 under 10.8, 10.9 and Windows 7.

It comes with sata cables. I am not positive about this, but some research I read indicates that there is no performance difference between earlier sata cables and current sata cables.

I do believe that you need both cables to get all 8 drives. I think it is 4 per but I have not tested as I only have 4 drives at this time.

It is merely a straight through cable with standard SATA (L type) connector on the end. It should work with either.

Most Sata connectors are backwards compatible. Just do a quick Google search.

It turns out the SATA port is just a pass through for the eSata port on the outside of the card. There is no built in SATA port on this board.
