Erik005 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) I'm from Rotterdam :D 15min drive from Alternate and a 15 min drive from Informatique. The M.2 connector is basically 4 extra PCIe 3.0 lanes straight from the processor, there are a lot of options there.Yes, but they're all SATA while I need SAS. SAS can handle the SATA protocol, but not the other way round. Last time I was in Rotterdam was to see the Rolling Stones in 1983... I was born 3 years later, I like the stones though. This is the most modern board that has a SAS controller sadly, I think you are out of luck.https://nl.hardware.info/product/264880/asrock-x99-extreme11/specificaties This is the cheapest controller.https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/416126/lsi-megaraid-raid-controller-sas-9341-4i-sgl-4-port-intern.html Edited June 4, 2018 by Erik005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRJump Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Well, I have the Z77 socket 1155 version of that motherboard, except my older eXtreme11 board has "only" 14 SATA connectors while the X99 one has 18... I found that SAS PCI adapter on Alternate, earlier, together with a whole bunch of others. Prices of 200 Euro and more are ridiculous as for that price I buy a new 4 or 8TB hard drive to replace one or both 4TB SAS drives. Thanks again, Erik.
