You mean the multilane connectors?  Yeah, those are sweet.  A friend of 
mine has just used those cables with multilane drive cages to make some 
really "fat" 12 drive arrays using Seagate 400gig SATA drives.  They 
look a bit like the old high density external SCSI connectors (like the 
old Buslogic/Mylex boards used to have "back in the day").
