Hi. I'm working on a new server using 6TB hard drives. Here are the specs:
- SuperMicro X8DT3-F Motherboard with
- SuperServer case 24 trays using a SuperMicro SAS2-846EL2 backplane
- SuperMicro 0108L SAS Cable
- 6 x 6TB SATA Drives
The X8DT3-F motherboard comes with a LSI SAS1068E Raid controller and the
drives are recognized as only 2TB drives. From my research it seems that even
after updating the bios drives the full capacity of the drives are not useable.
1) What PCI-E raid controller can I use, if any, that will work with the Supermicro SAS
cable that will see all 24 drives?
Thanks
