I have a question on this. I am looking to build a norco fileserver. I am looking at the 3U 3216. My question is i currently have a dell Perc 5i. I was wondering if there is a way to hook all the drive bays up to the one card. Or would it be cheaper to purchase another used perc 5 instead of an expander. And finally will the perc 5i fit in a 3u case. (since the card plus cables and sit pretty high up.
