yeah i got these ones on ebay, but like I said they didn't fit.

1m 28AWG External SAS 34pin (SFF-8470) M to SAS 34pin (SFF-8470) M Cable - Black

Ill check for cx4 cables.. they should snap in from the likes of the card.

I took off the "brackets" at both ends and plug them in, shouldn't it have worked its the same (SFF-8470) as I'm finding for the cx4 cables?
