Data cables are an essential part of any PC build, connecting internal components or external devices, allowing transfer of data and power.

These SAS cables provide a data connection between different types of SSD/HDD and storage controllers. You can check compatibility in your component documentation.

From display adapters to power cables, these accessories help you get the most from your graphics card.

This range of removable caddies enables you to hot-swap one or more 2.5in or 3.5in HDDs or SSDs in a desktop PC or tower server with sufficient free drive bays.

Data cables are an essential part of any PC build, connecting internal components or external devices, allowing transfer of data and power.

These cables were common in older systems connecting HDDs, FDDs, optical drives and fans case fans to the motherboard.

A storage controller is a hardware device used to manage HDDs or SSDs in a server or storage array. While all motherboards include a basic storage controller built into the chipset, it is commonplace to add a third party storage controller if you need extra capacity or want to configure them in RAID to protect data.

A RAID controller card is similar to a Host Bus Adapter (HBA), but can also add redundancy (RAID) for the drives, help optimise performance, reduce latency, or even make smart decisions on whether to store data on an HDD or an SSD cache, depending on user needs. Since these additional tasks consume power and processing speed, RAID controllers are typically more expensive than HBAs and handle fewer devices. They are however recommended where data is critical and needs some degree of protection and in scenarios where different drive types are being used such as a single array containing SSDs for regularly accessed data and HDDs for archive purposes.

PSUs (Power Supply Units) supply electricity to the components inside your system. It's important to pick a good-quality PSU to ensure a stable supply of power, low noise and not to waste too much electricity.

In this category you'll find a variety of server PSUs which provide redundancy if one of the PSUs fails, enabling your server to keep running.

Start by checking how many Watts (W for short) your system requires. You can find this information in your component documentation or our buyers guide.

It's also essential to pick a PSU with the right connections for all the components in your system.

It's also important to look at efficiency, which can be seen in a PSU's 80 PLUS rating. More efficient PSUs waste less electricity as well as running quieter and cooler.

These SAS cables provide a data connection from the motherboard to SAS HDDs and SSDs.

Various additional items designed for use with specific servers.

Accessories for server cases, these include rails and brackets for mounting cases into racks.
