If I put two LSI 9207-414e HBA cards into my server, and hooked up their SF-8088 ports to a JBOD with a two SF-8087 input SAS expander (like this one) via a SF-8088 to SF-8087 PCI adapter, would this setup work properly? Or would I be better off getting an HBA with dual SF-8088 outputs (like a LSI 9201-16e) and an HBA with internal SF-8087 connectors (like a LSI 9201-8i)? I need some extra inputs internally, as well as connections for a future JBOD enclosure. I'm not really sure if there are benefits or drawbacks to either, and they'd be about the same price, either set of cards. Thanks in advance.
