How do I know what kind of cables to order (discrete Vs. Multi-lane)?
a. The 2-port controller uses only discrete point-to-point SATA cables. All other configurations use Multi-lane cables. 3ware’s award-winning Multi-lane cabling system combines four SATA ports into a single locked connection. Multi-lane cables dramatically increase system reliability by radically reducing cable count. For a complete list of cables and corresponding controllers please see the 3ware cable datasheet at.http://www.3ware.com/products/pdf/AMCC_cableDS_083006.
