Hello,
I don't have the big budgets some of you guys have so I'm planning on using my external SAS connection to link to a box of hard drives. I don't have an extra motherboard to use so I;m going with a barebones approach. So; does anyone have experience using a Powered Ribbon Cable to power a HP 24 Port 3GB SAS Expander card 487738-001 468405-002?
I think I have only seen reference to PCB Riser Extender Cards or the PICMG 1U Backplane with PCIe Slot. Assuming the cheaper options will work ; what are the pros and cons?
Thanks in advance.
