All Multilane SATA II Cable Bracket Application Information

SATA Multilane cable diagram
The diagram above shows how the SATA-ML-3GB4X6 multilane 4 channel cable works in conjunction with a PC and multi bay enclosure.

Explanation, The Multi Bay Enclosure:

Both the enclosure and the PC must have the 4-channel multilane back plane device with ATA2 ports, this is where the 4-channel multilane cable will be connected between the two devices. The enclosure hard drives each have their own channel that will connect to the multilane back plane internal ports via an internal SATA cable. All drive channels to the back plane device converge into 1 output cable containing the information for each channel (4 channel max.) to the PC.

Explanation, The PC:

The PC operates similarly to the multi bay enclosure in that it also will contain a multilane back plane device to output the information to the hard drive on any of the 4 channels available. The channels from inside the PC can connect from either a SATA II PCI controller card or the mother board SATA ports if available,

The two images to the left are representations of how the SATA-ML-3GB4X6 Multilane SATA cable connects to the PC and Multi bay enclosure. The SATA-ML-3GB4X6 connects at both the PC and the Enclosure to create a single cable pathway to 4 SATA devices within one enclosure unit.

The top image shows a PCI bracket style connection that would be installed in a PC to control output to the storage device.

The bottom image is the SATA II multilane mounting bracket that would be installed into the multi bay hard drive enclosure.

Both these SATA II back plane multilane items are available through our sister site by following the links above.

Tech Notes:

The 4-channel multilane cable does not have to be used with all 4 channels or 4 hard drives. The multilane cable can be used with 2 drives without loss of information in any way. The channels represented in the multilane cable and back plane are independent of each other, one does not affect the other in any way.

The PC connections can be either on a SATA PCI controller card with internal ports or your PC's mother board SATA ports.
