FAQs

Q: How many drives can this model support?
A: Up to 26 drives, depending on your server’s backplane, expander, and cabling layout.

Q: Are both SAS and SATA media supported?
A: Yes. SAS HBAs typically support SAS and SATA drives; confirm with your server/backplane documentation.

Q: Is hardware RAID included?
A: This is intended as a pass-through HBA. Use a separate RAID controller if hardware RAID is needed.

Q: Does it include internal SAS cables?
A: Usually no; the listing covers the HBA (and applicable form factor). Use server-supplied cables or procure separately.

Q: What do I need to install it?
A: A compatible server modular bay/slot and matching backplane are required. Refer to your server’s installation guide.
