I have a R320 server with an H710 mini card in it. There is a SAS 8087 cable connected to the backplane with 4 SAS drives that work just fine.
I tried to add two additional drives using the SAS-B connector on the board with a SAS mini to Sata fanout cable and the drives are not detected.
The drives are Samsung Evo 850 if that makes a difference and I tried two different fanout cables (a Chinese one from eBay and an HP one from one of my other servers). Has anyone come across this issue an how did you solve it? Does Dell do anything silly with pinouts that requires their specific cables?
