macmann Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) I bought a new Chenbro case. Excellent quality case. It has 12 drive slots on a sas backplane. The back plane has two sas connectors. Each connector is a mini sas HD connector. Picture attached. I ordered two dell perc h310 cards that have a mini sas connector. I was hoping I can order a mini sas hd to mini sas cable like pictured. How can I make use of all 12 drive slots with two cables???? I thought each cable supports only 4 drives. Can I get a mini sas hd card to support all 12 drives with unraid?

macmann Posted May 13, 2018 Author Share Posted May 13, 2018 Is there a card that works with unraid that will support mini sas hd ? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Those backplanes have a built in expander, you just need to connect one cable to see the 12 disks, connecting both will allow dual link or redundancy, depending on the backplane. Quote Link to comment
