Hello everyone! Newbie here.
I have bought second hand Supermicro SC825 2U chasis with SAS825TQ Backplane and 8x hot-swap hdd caddies. The server will be in datacenter and I'd like to fill all 8 hdd slots in the future with 4-12TB drives - primary use would be Plex/Kodi server and Owncloud/nextcloud server.
I'd like to ask you guys if I should trust this backplane since they are making them since 2013 and mine can be that old as well. The new one costs 70 euros in my country.
Also, could someone tell me if I can use SAS drives with this backplane? There are 8 Sata cables coming from the back from previous owner which confuse me.
I'd like to connect them to SAS HBA.
Thank you in advance
