Okay so I am buying some used hardware on ebay and found a few poweredge servers for a good price. These servers come with a PERC 6i card and 4x 146gb internal SAS drives.
I want to purchase a 8 Bay Hard drive enclosure that has 2 SFF-8470 ports.
My question is, what is the best way to hook up the PERC6i to this enclosure, and how long can my cables be if I am using SATA drives in the enclosure.
Please Advise.
Answer
The PERC 6i controller doesn’t have external ports. You would have to add another controller card with external ports unless you do something exotic.
