SCSI and SAS

[Rossi~]

I have a Powervault 114X with SAS connections and was wondering if there is any way of connecting it up to SCSI? Are there any ways to link them some how, some sort of converter?

Nope.... totally different technologies. SAS is a SATA derived protocol and is not compatible with SCSI. Edit to say - I did look into this about 2 years ago and there was nothing then and nothing was planned for such a thing. As far as I'm aware nothing has been made to convert the signaling and connections between the two.

Oh well, looks like im going to have to re-arrange the servers, thanks Dell...
