Hello All -
I am new to using SAS hard drives, and would like to be a little more educated about them. I currently have two of these hard drives that were given to me:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148538
I would like to use them in my current setup, but I'm not sure of the proper hardware to use. The motherboard I am currently using is this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132053
In my readings so far, I've read that you need to use a controller card to make these work? I was having a look at this card, and was curious if this is the proper one to use:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816118182
I also don't have the proper cables to use to go between the controller card (If I need to use one.), and was curious what ones I should purchase to use them. Could someone link me to the proper cables?
If I don't need to use a controller card, what do I need to use?
Thanks in advance!
Justin
