Looking to buy a LSI HBA card for at least 8 drives to expand storage for my server. I'd like to buy it with the appropriate cables since they are hard to find.

Are you looking also for a JBOD? I have a Xyratex HB-1235 that I could sell together with a fitting HBA card and cables.

No, I already have a 12 bay rack mount case that I wanted to connect up to my new server.

Yes all these requests dont really go together in my mind. External HBA, breakout cables and 12bay rack mount case. One has to go :)

I guess there are breakout cables that connect from external SAS directly to disks, but those are probably so unusual that they are too expensive. Maybe its better to buy internal cables and route them out of the chassis.

I used those back in the days when 16e adapters where a lot cheaper than 16i's, so at least for SAS2 they were not too bad
