SATA_A on T320

What kind of connection is needed to connect devices thru the SATA_A port on the T320 motherboard. It is a connector next to the SATA_E and SATA_F

Thanks

    For those who need the answer

    SATA_A is indeed an 8087 port and a Mini_SAS connector with 4 Sata's will work fine

    I would like to add a Drive Caddy using the Front 5 1/4 bay. This caddy would hold both a 3.5 and 2.5 inch drive which will store my hourly backups of the PERC H700 drives.

    Please give me the web site to find these parts as searching accessories and parts under my service tag comes up with nothing.

    Also Is that SATA_A port a SFF-8087 port?

    Thanks for your help

    Hey Buddy thank you for clarifying about SATA_A port, I was wondering HDD connected to that port can get direct access to Freenas instead of going through some RAID,

    Hi Colakang,

    the T320 supports SATA 3(6Gb/s) with using a Raid Controller.

     

    But the onboard Raid Controller S110 could handle only 3Gb/s

    Do you have any further questions?

    Hello Martin

    How about sata_e & sata_f ?

    These two port also run on sata2?

    that's mean all 6sata ports on MB are run on sata 2, is it correct?

    Many thanks
