Ok, let's say I build a 2U server that has a SAS/SATA RAID HBA and a couple years down the road, I need more space and don't want to build another server.
Is it possible to buy a rackable disc enclosure that can be added into the current array? I've seen the enclosures for such a setup, I've seen HBAs with external ports. But from a quick look around, all the RAID disc chassis seem to have a single SFF 8470 and the HBAs usually have an SFF 8088 connector(s).
Could anyone lend me some insight on this? I'd guess that they make 8470 to 8088 cables, right?
Thanks.
