Can anyone help me update the firmware on my HP SAS Exp? They are both at ver 1.00.
Also would consider trades, if someone needs one that works with Adaptec or something else...
Also, since the controller used is only an SAS1 device, but it can combine two ports to one expander, how is the bandwidth shared?
Ex: SAS2 drive -> SAS Expander (link at SAS2? or SAS1?)
SAS Expander -> SAS RAID (Link only at SAS1... but double width...)
Would the faster drive 'split' its bandwidth across the slower sas exp to sas raid card interface, so it still has the throughput?
Or if there were faster drive*S*, would they split their bandwidth across the double wide interface?
Thanks!
