You need a Raid controller or HBA. The LSI/Avago/Broadcom chip based models are popular here. Read this hardware forum. If you bought the 12G drives like I did you would want a 12G controller which are a bit more expensive. The last 6G cards I bought were pretty cheap and breakout cables are easy to find.What I need to use they drive in my home server?
