Hi,
I'm using a S1200SPLR board with an E3-1245v6 CPU (latest Firmware version 03.01.1029 installed)
I'm looking for the most basic SAS Module option with SAS 12 Gbps ports (that can operate without any RAID features active) so that the operating system has direct access to the hard drives for software defined storage solutions.
The S1200SPLR has a fourth expansion slot "SAS Module slot". However I'm unable to find a compatible SAS module for that motherboard. If you check the motherboard's product page under "Compatible Products" and "RAID Products", you only get regular PCIe add-in cards ("Low Profile MD2 Card"), nothing for that special SAS module slot.
Is there a product to supply the S1200SPLR's SAS module slot with a SAS 12 Gbps port?
Thank you very much for your help!
