Setting up RAID 5, a few Qs

I got a raid 5 controller with a i960 intel chipset on it. and I recently acquired 5X 68 pin U160 10 gig hard drives.

I've looked around at Ars Technica on raid 5 and it seems like I need 5 hard drives. I have 5. The problem is that the LVD U160 cable I have is a 5 position terminated cable, that means 5 connectors, 1 to the controller and 4 to hard drives. I can't seem to find any 6 position ones and I've looked around at a few online stores.

am I doing something wrong or am I just looking in the wrong places.


thanks in advance.
 
You need 3 or more drives to do RAID-5 - it doesn't have to be 5 drives.

Hypermicro.com has 9 and 11 position cables.
