im getting my server ready for 6 drives installed and the cable management is HELL

@f0x brb inventing wireless sata extenders

@s0 ok so basically do the polar opposite of this thing

@f0x where tf did they think you’re placing your drives??? On the other side of the room?????

@s0 it's for off-site backups! reaching all the way into another continent

@f0x could you replace them with your own shorter cables?

@s0 not really I think :/ it's a weird (proprietary?) connector on the card end (it has 2 of those ports, each providing 4x sata) and very much designed for server backplanes where you would need the long cables
