So I am looking to use a HP DL380 G6 to run unRAID.  I know I need to replace the P410i controller, I am asking for some options to use to replace that controller.  The server has 6 15k 146GB SAS drives, also looking to use a RocketRAID 622 with a Sans Digital TR4M-BNC with 4 3TB WD Red Drives.

 

Thanks,

You could use something like this, I have one in my server and it works very well. it supports SATA/SAS, you just need to get the right breakout cables for your SAS drives.

I am hoping to use the existing backplane on the DL380 G6, anyone ever used a different card and the existing backplane?

 

Thanks,
