Is bandwith affected by using a single cable (and as such connector in the HBA) for all the 12 drives?
- -EL1 and EL2 backplanes use expanders, so only a single cable is necessary, though two cables are also doable. Additional ports allow for cascading expanders.
- -EL2 backplanes have two expanders for dual-port usage, which doesn't add much of anything
