I have a proliant ML30 Gen 10 Plus server. I was using the VROC raid controller, but I don't like it. So, I purchased a Hewlett Packard Enterprise 804394-B21 Smart Array E208i-p SR Gen10 8 Internal Lanes online. The only yhing that is missing is the cables. For the life of me I cannot find them online. Can someone here tell me where I can get thses?

Thakn you

To connect this Smart Array controller to the internal drives of your server, you will require appropriate Mini-SAS cables. Specifically, the controller uses Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8643) ports. For installation procedures and configuration guidance, please refer to the HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen10 Plus Maintenance and Service Guide.

Thank you for the help on this. I got the Mini SAS to SATA cables. They fit perfectly.
