I have an old HP ML350 G6 server and I was wondering if I could buy a SAS expander card (this one 468406-B21) and buy a couple of SFF-8087 breakout cables and use it for my internal SATA drives instead of connecting it to a back plane?
Or does the expander card only work with a back plane?
I just ordered a LSI SAS2008-8I cards but I'm thinking about canceling the order and buy this expander card instead. I have 6 WD Black SATA drives connected to the motherboard right now that I'm using with ZFS but it's really slow and I'm hoping a dedicated card will fix this.
