R440 + internal LTO
Good morning community,
I have an R440 server including a dell 12Gpbs SAS HBA external controller card
I was asked a few days ago if it was possible to connect an internal LTO6 server to this external controller card (in order not to buy a new LTO as i'm having one not used)
Of course the cable given with the controller card is not compatible with my internal LTO
So that would mean purchase a specific wire with the good connectors at both sides + i guess, have an external power supply for my LTO of course.
Has anyone already experienced a working solution like this?
Advices appreciated!
Thank you!

Hello Thibbb,
If you can find a cable to connect your internal drive to your external HBA then it will work. We don’t sell a cable for that. I know of other customers that made there own cable and was able to get it to work.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
