Attaching SATA drives via SFF-8088 adapter

[Haber]

Hey guys,

 

i've got a question about attaching some sata drives via sas adapters to a sata controller.

I'd like to build a kind of direct attached storage on my own.

So I thought about buying a cheap case with enough space for up to 8 3,5" drives.

The big question is now how to attach these drives to my little server.

My thought was to get one of these adapters:

attach it to my sata controllers in the server, run two of these cables

all the way to this adapter

in the computercase which has the drives in it and connect this adapter to the sata drives.

Is that a possible way to connect these this to each other?

 

I hope someone of you guys can help me with that problem. I would be very happy of that.

For the server, Id just get a sas hba or raid card like a lsi 9200-8e

 

That adapter will work fine. You can also get an expander for more drives. Look at this guy https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-487738-001-468405-001-24-Bay-3Gb-SAS-Expander-Card-w-Warranty/172959134706?hash=item28452af3f2

Thanks for answering that fast.

I think your idea will be much better than mine.

But on the storageside i'd have to get one of these adapters mentioned above right?
