I've seen user reports on the web that say this combo works amazingly well.The SFF-8088 connector is a very widely used connector type that is commonly used today on SAS cards. It carries the equivalent of four SATA/ SAS 7-pin connections through a SFF-8087 to SFF-8088 cable providing 12gbps of throughput using SAS or SATA II 3.0gbps devices. In fact, many makes of SFF-8088 cables look like four 7-pin cables were sheathed together and terminated at each end by SFF-8088 endpoints. SFF-8088 connectors tend to have locking mechanisms that snap into place when a cable is inserted. This generally keep the connections secure over time even if there is minor chassis movement and vibration.
