Hi all
I put together a small ITX Chenbro soho case that has a 9300-8i in it. The case has 4 hotswap sas/sata bays. Everything is working fine except for the HEAT! The case is just too small for a SAS3 HBA. These HBA's are designed for server cases with lots of loud airflow, not a jam packed mini itx solution. My plan is to move the SAS hba into my larger, cooler system. The issue is that the larger system only has a SATA backplane and my drives are HGST SAS3's. Id have to run a (i) to (e) SAS cable to the enclosure, but ive already found one that will work.
Anyone have a SAS backplane external enclosure for sale with sff 8644?
Mahalos.
