Hi
I have recently purchased an old Dell server it's nothing special, but I was looking to install unraid on it and run a simple file server.
as it comes with a raid card I was looking to buy and install an HBA in the PCI E slot
I have been doing some research trying to work out what I need to get
the requirements are:
it must have 2 internal mini SAS drive connectors
be relatively low cost.
I was looking at this product

however I'm not sure if it is the right thing to get
it is only a Dell PowerEdge 2950
I bought it used on eBay I was going to install the card in the expansion slot instead of where the raid card goes
If things went to plan, I was going to use the raid card I previously linked with this cable

to connect it to the backplane of the server
Is this correct setup Please note I don't really want to buy a raid card and flash it to IIT mode
thanks
