[raid 卡] 加SAS Expander?

kenn

現時Raid card 8個ports已用, 無spare port. 請問除了加sas expander外(因想用回cachecade pro 2.0), 有冇其他方法？
SAS expander 約多少錢？有何介紹？

暫時Expander 都係推介Intel RAID Expander Card RES2SV240，用LSISAS2x24 Expander IC

請問有冇compatibility problem (LSI 9270)?
本地有賣否？
謝謝。

Thanks all C-Hings replied above.  

LSI Support sent me a "Compatibility Report for MegaRAID Value and Feature 6Gb/s SAS Controller", which is downloadable from the following link -

(i) Do I need to buy a SF8087 to SF8087 cable to connect the LSI 9270 to the Intel RES2SV240?  In this way, I can still make use of the remaining SF8087 port of my raid card to connect 4 SATA drives and connect the other SATA drives to the SF8087 ports of the Intel expander (via appropriate cables), right? or
(ii) Connect the Intel expander with the LSI raid card by 2 SF8087 to SF8087 cables (using two ports of EACH card/expander) and connect up to 16 SATA drives?  Any speed difference between the setup of (i) and (ii)?
(iii) My CacheCade Pro 2.0 could still work in both setup?
(iv) What kind of cables are included in the Intel RES2SV240 box?

Thanks in advance.
