Hi all. My first post and my first encounter with server-class equipment.
I'm considering a Supermicro X10SRH-CLN4F motherboard with their 3U SC833T-653B case, but I don't yet have a clear idea of how they interconnect. The motherboard, which has a SAS3 controller, has two mini-SAS connectors. The case's backplane appears to have a cluster of 8 SATA data connectors, so I need to buy two 4-SATA breakout cables? Is there a recommended brand?
I assume the backplane supplies power for all 8 drives and I see two 4-pin molex connectors on it. So I need just two runs from the power supply to provide all the current needed to spin up 8 7200 RPM drives?
Thanks.
