Hello!
I've recently purchased a CSE-847 36bay SAS 3back plane.
It comes with the following two back planes. I'm currently building out an epyc server to replace a 1950x build. While deciding on motherboards, I've come across the SM H12ssl-c, which has two SAS3 ports. This was tempting since it will save $100ish would go to a SAS3 card, and save a slot. But after reviewing the SM CSE-847 manual. I've across different ways to connect the two back planes together.
I will not need to use external SAS, everything will be internal. Would using a single SAS cable per backplane limit any performance?
