   So, it looks like whatever cable I tried to get for the server to connect an internal SSD was the wrong one.

   If anyone else wants to take a stab at it, be my guest.

     @feld yup! It's just a tiny flat ribbon cable.

     @alicew I don't think these parts I'm finding are standardized

     @alicew well this one is for an Asus. What err the odds they have a different cable vs shared across some models?

     @feld I'd be interested in seeing if any of the ones you suggested work. In a month from now when they actually show up lmao

     @alicew it really looks like a SAS Interposer connector (small adapter that converts SATA to SAS) and they just put a cable on it instead of mounting it on the narrow PCB
     
     I bet you could get the parts off somewhere like mouser and make your own
