I bought an internal IBM LTO 6-H SAS Tape Drive to back up my data (I have many TBs). I don't have a server, only a Windows 10 and Windows 7 PC. Which wires/card/adapters/enclosures do I need so it can run via SATA or USB or even PCI-E or some port a PC would have. I have pictures of what I've got: an SAS Cable, the drive, and a card I thought was an SAS to PCI-e converter. any advice?
The card is a SUPERMICRO AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 PCI-Express 2.0 x8 SATA / SAS 8-Port Controller Card. The wire is Coboc SFF8087-MM-1M 1 meter 30AWG Internal Mini SAS 36-Pin SFF-8087 Male to Mini SAS 36-Pin SFF-8087 Male Cable.
Can you please properly identify the card in question. You indicate you think it’s PCI but that isn’t compatible with PCIe. – Ramhound – 2019-04-19T12:13:14.980
