Anyone here know of SATA/SAS HBA 8 port cards low profile
Title says it all!
Well except for the I want to do it cheap part
I've got a 2u Norco hotswap Home brew server. And a Norco hot swap 10 bay for my HTPC.
I bought a HD CARD SUPERMICRO|AOC-SAT2-MV8 R I was hoping to connect 8 drives in the HTPC case to a SAS Centronix device via a cable to a SAS Centronix device (with a low profile bracket) to the 2U serverI found on PCPitStop. They say no low profile. I can use the HD CARD SUPERMICRO|AOC-SAT2-MV8 R, within the server itself for the 8 drives on the server, but how can I get the 8 drives in the HTPC case hooked up to the 2u server without spending $600.00 on a card. The 10 bay HTPC is full ht, so no problems there.
Everything is rack mounted and I wanted to go SAS to have a cable disconnect between the 2 boxes if I have to pull one from the rack
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
