SAS 6/iR does support non-RAID when drives are left unconfigured on the controller. You can't use adapters like that. Adapter or not, the controller simply doesn't speak SAS.
Hello, So I recently wanted to install some SAS drives into my old T3500. But neither of my 2 SAS drive would work with my SAS to SATA adapter. So i need a SAS Controller Card. I now want to ask if the SAS 6/ir does support Non RAID configurations. At last , I apologize if there are mistakes in my writing because Englisch is not my native Language (it is German) and I apologize aswell when I am on the wrong forum for my question.   Thanks in advance, Nuno Daehnhardt
