Recommend a SAS Controller for external LTO6?

edited Jul 8, 2014 1:58AM in SPARC Legacy servers (MOSC) 6 commentsAnswered

Hi all

I need some advice in selecting an SAS controller for an LTO6 tape drive we may potentially purchase.  Seems nowadays it's getting harder to find SCSI tape drives and we've been offered an SAS drive but I don't currently have any servers with SAS external connection. 

I have a choice of installing to a v215 or T4-2 server.  This means a PCIe interface, half-height.

While looking for a compatible controller in the Oracle System Handbook, seems I have a choice of either:

  • Option 7105387 - 8-Port 6Gbps SAS-2 HBA (suits T4-2)
  • Option SG-XPCIE8SAS-E-Z - 8-Port 3Gbps SAS/SATA HBA (suits v215 but may not be orderable anymore)

Howdy, Stranger!
