How do you connect SAS drives to a SAS controller in a xw8600 when the sata cables don't fit into the SAS drive connector?
To connect SAS drives to a SAS controller in an HP xw8600, you need to use the appropriate SAS cables, as SATA cables are incompatible with SAS connectors. Ensure that you have SAS breakout cables that have the correct connectors for both the SAS controller and the SAS drives. Connect the SAS drives to the breakout cable, and then attach the other end of the cable to the SAS controller. Make sure the drives are properly seated and the controller is configured to recognize them in the system BIOS.

What piece of hardware IDE cables connect?
IDE cables in computers are used to connect Hard Disk Drives and CD/DVD Drives to the motherboard. - Neeraj Sharma
What type of power connector is used to connect to hard disk drives or optical drives?
molex for IDE devices and sata power connector for SATA devices
What are scsi cables used for?
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) cables are used to connect computers to certain devices such as hard drives, tape drives, printers, CD drives, and scanners.
What is common name for the data cables used on floppy?
The common name for the data cables used on floppy drives is "floppy ribbon cable." These cables typically have a flat, multi-conductor design and connect the floppy drive to the computer's motherboard. They usually feature a 34-pin connector for the floppy drive interface.
Which component probably has a dual-voltage selector switch and has cables that connect to the motherboard and drives?
the hdd
What do you need to connect two hard drive and one CD burner?
You need two cables called IDE cables. Typically these cables have the ability to connect two hard drives or two CD DVD roms. So just find two IDE cables and you can conect what you need to connect.
IDE data cable?
This is a data ribbon cable is used for computer drives, like hard disk drives, Optical disk drives, and floppy disk drives. They are also referred to as PATA cables. They connect to parallel ports consisting of 20 pins in one row, and 19 in the second, for a total of 39 pins. IDE cables are now considered old, having been largely replaced by SATA cables, which connect to newer drives which run at more RPM. The SATA system communicates more quickly that the PATA system using IDE cables.
Differentiate between a floppy drive cable and an IDE type cable?
A floppy drive cable is typically a narrow, flat ribbon cable with a 34-pin connector, designed specifically for connecting floppy disk drives to a motherboard. In contrast, an IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) cable is wider, usually 40 or 80 pins, and supports larger data transfer rates for hard drives and CD-ROM drives. IDE cables often have a distinctive connector with a keying mechanism to prevent incorrect insertion, and they can support multiple devices on the same cable, whereas floppy cables usually connect only one drive. Additionally, IDE cables may have a second connector to allow for a master/slave configuration, while floppy cables do not have this feature.
Can I connect 2 SATA hard drives to 2 SATA connectors and DVD burnner to IDE connector on the same mother board?
Yes. Assuming that your mobo has at least 2 SATA ports, 1 IDE port, and appropriate power cables are available from the power supply.
What piece of hardware do EIDE cables connect to?
Typically EIDE cables connect to IDE Hard-drives and optical drives such as CD and DVD Drives. The cable connects between the motherboard of the computer and the hard-drive or optical drive. Normally most motherboards have two idea buses. You can have to drives per cable. So a total of 4 drives.
Is there gold in hard drives?
Yes. there is a small amount of gold in pretty every silicon chip. Tiny gold wires connect the silicon chips to the connector pins on the chip's packaging. The connectors are often gold plated too. There are many chips on a hard drive controller pcb.
What do the ATA interface standards?
- How hard drives and other drives interface with a computer system (type of cables and connectors used by drives, motherboard or expansion cards) - Data speeds and transfer methods between the drive controller, the BIOS, the chip-sets on motherboard, and the OS
