The SuperMicro X10SDV-7TP4F ships with an onboard LSI-2116.
I've never worked with an HBA or a DAS before, so I'm may be doing this wrong, but here's what I want to do:
Hook up the 4 internal SFF-8643 ports to this Quad External MINI SAS HD SFF-8644 to Internal MINI SAS HD SFF-8643 12G Adapters.
Then, use this 10Gtek External Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 to Mini SAS SFF-8088 Hybrid Cable to connect to a Lenovo SA-120.
I called Supermicro and was told that the LSI-2116 ships in IT mode, meaning (I assume) that it's capable of managing up to 512 drives. Does anyone know it this is correct?
I just want to know, will this work?
Any guidance would be appreciated. Cheers.
