Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
Hello,
Serial Attached SCSI hard drives (the new SCSI technology), uses plain SATA connectors, right? I am about to order one for this system: Asus K8N-DL Dual Opteron 265 2gb Corsair ECC DDR400 Fujitsu 15k 74gb SAS etc...

That motherboard doesn't appear to support SAS. You need a SAS controller to use a SAS drive.

Really? I thought it used an SATA connector... Can anyone recommend just a plain SCSI drive and a quality, inexpensive SCSI controller card? I'd really appreciate it.

Yes, it uses the SATA connector, but that doesn't mean that the motherboard knows how to "speak" SAS. The connector, however, does allow you to plug SATA drives into SAS controllers.

Thank you, I will have to use plain old SCSI. Can you, or anyone else please recommend an adapter that will work with Linux and Windows (Just for SCSI).
Edit: Actually, I will just get a different motherboard. Any suggestions? |

Is this going to be a "mission-critical" server? If it is, don't try to build it like a budget build...get premium components to ensure reliability.
