Hello Everyone,
I bought a HP StorageWorks Ultrium 1760 LTO4 Tape Drive with external SFF8088 and a few LTO4 tapes.
I pretend to do backups to my 12TB share and keep them on these tapes in a separated physical location.
I though it would be possible to connect the tape drive to my Areca 1880i (with the help of a SAS expander with external SFF8088), but it looks it isn't possible. Nothing's being detected on the raid card.
I am running WHS2011.
Is it correct that I need some kind of HBA to connect the tape to the server?
It's going to be impossible to connect to the Areca right ?
What kind of HBA would you guys advice to connect to this single tape device?
I've found this "ARC-1320-4i4x" but I'm not sure it works with tape drives and also, some impressive prices
