I've been lurking on these forums for ages but never created an account. Now I'm seriously stuck, I hope you guys can help.

I have a HP StorageWorks 1760 LTO 4 tape drive (internal, half height). Previously, this was connected to a P212 controller - since then, the controller decided to throw a tantrum when updating its firmware and now doesn't work properly (ORCA doesn't work, lockups with drives etc). In need of a replacement card to run the tape drive off (got the D2616 for the hdd's, IR mode but doesn't really matter).

What SAS controller could be used for the tape drive?

Any sas hba should work. I'm running an external hp lto tape autoloader off of an lsi 9200-8e. Since your tape drive is internal, then some internal sas hba.
