Hi, anyone could point me at an ELI5 about SAS hardware? I’d like to assemble a NAS using an old HP Z200, I want SAS because I’d get also a tape drive for backups and I cannot find SATA tape drives. For example, is a Dell Perc H310 pci-e card good for me? Can I avoid hardware RAID?
I just found a dell h200 for 27€ shipping included on aliexpress. It should be already flashed in IT mode, right? This screen pic is in the description:
