I've got 5 Seagate Cheetah drives, model #ST3300655SS, and I am trying to hook them up to my Asus Pike 1078 card in my server and I am wondering what cables I would need to do that with the dual port. I;ve seen 29-pin to 7-pin SATA and I've seen 29-pin to 2 7-pin SATAs. I just don't know which one I need. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Could you post pictures of the ports of your hard disk and your server card? Maybe that'll help us help you figure out what you need. :)

That is the connection on the Hard Drive. The connection on the RAID card looks just like a standard SATA.

So I want to know if this is what I need or the one with only 1 SATA port on the other side.
