Davidbrierley Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hello, first post on here but could really do with some help or opinions . I have started my build and I want to utilise a number of 2tb sas drives I have I know I cant use them natively with an matx build as its backplane is sata however I am struggling to find any detail regarding pci-e sas controllers From what I am aware sas combines power and the connector but I'm struggling to understand how I could connect my sas drives to my build . If anyone has any recommendations it would be appreciated . My build is as follows Ryzen 5 16gb 2 x 4tb ironwolf 1 x 500 GB m2 for cache I really want to add my 6 x 2tb sas to my array as I already have these drives Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment

Davidbrierley Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Thanks, will this work with any sas controller and is there any recommended for unraid or will any do ? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Any will do but the other end depends on the controller, e.g. sff-8087 is usually used for SAS2 controllers, sff-8643 for SAS3. Quote Link to comment
