Hi,

I have a x9srh-7f with an integrated SAS2308 which has 8 SATA connectors. I've reached my 8 drive limit and would like to expand.

Is it feasible to use reverse breakout cable connected to a mini SAS connector connected to a SAS expander than to a backplane?

So 7PIN SATA x4 ---> Reverse Breakout ---> SAS Expander ---> SAS Backblane with SFF-8087

Thanks in advance for the help!
