the board comes with a pair of Internal Mini SAS Cable

StarTech.com's Internal Mini SAS Cable (with Sidebands) features SFF-8087 connectors, helping you transmit, manage and protect critical data and digital content.Designed to provide durable connectivity for high-performance networks, servers, workstations and desktops, this Mini-SAS cable is backed by StarTech.com's Lifetime Warranty.The 3805 is actually an SAS controller, using the mini-SAS plugs that handle four drives each. On the web site the specification says that the board comes with a pair of Internal Mini SAS Cable, but there were no such cables in my box. http://www.fiberyes.com/minisas Turns out I had ordered the OEM version of the board (the only one available), and it had no cables in it - which makes sense, its an OEM board, the OEM is always going to want to do something unique with the board.Fine, I'll order my own cables. But NOBODY has stock on Internal Mini SAS Cable. I flip out at the supplier, and he calls Adaptec, and they offer to give me a pair of cables for free (which was mighty nice of them), if I'll pay the shipping. Totally worth it, I had ordered the wrong product and they were willing to fix it. A FedEx overnight shipment later, I had cables.
