I know it is possible to use an Host Bus Adaptor as an expander for a full featured raid card, however i have no experience doing this!! the cards are a 9260-8i and a 9211-8i.
i imagine i would take a sas-to-sas cable between the two? any ideas?
 
see i was not totally sure...lol guess i said i was!!! however i am also very interested in using two controllers with a raid 0 on each, and software raid them in windows. when i spoke with lsi tech support they said that the only way to get a host bus adaptor to go above 64k stripe is to use it with a host controller, and it will use that controllers stripe size that it dictates., so i must be misunderstanding what they mean by host controller. any ideas guys?
