Robert, thanks for getting back to me so quickly and with the helpful information. The problem I am having with the current carriers is the metal tab or arm near the front of the tray, on one side, won't let the drive slide back far enough to mount the drive using the SATA screw holes.
If that is not really an issue, and I can simply mount using the SAS holes, then I have a bigger problem b/c the system isn't seeing the drives, so I can't install an OS. I was able to upgrade the BIOS to 1.2.7, and I have all SATA and RAID options turned on in the BIOS, but after that it won't see them. That is why I thought the carrier and how the drives are mounted could be a problem.
Hello everyone. We recently acquired a server dell for our company. We are dedicated to giving face-to-face and online courses. We use the same server for both face-to-face classes and for the web and online classes. Our problem is that every time we have more students giving classes and the server becomes slower. We have thought about mounting SAS drives, but our surprise is that we do not know how to connect them, since the connectors we see are SATA, the question is, do we need a special connector for the SAS or is there another connector on the board that We do not know Our server is the same as the other user indicated above, so we have another question, do we need another server more powerful or with which we can serve about 200 simultaneous students between the classroom and the web? Our site is https: institutoibt.com in case it serves the orientation. Thank you very much for your time.
