SAS hardware questions
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?
