PE2950 Upgrade system backup
Hi all,
I want to update my backup system by adding an additional external drive LTO4.
Currently the system is composed of:
Dell PowerEdge 2950
Dual CPU: Intel Xeon CPU E5440 @ 2.83GHz
RAM: 8GB
Controller HDD (RAID1 + RAID5): PERC 6/i Integrated
Controller Tape Drive: Adaptec ASC-39320A U320
PV110T with two LTO3 Tape Drive
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
PV110T Dual LTO3 Tape Drive
Having to install an additional SAS controller card for connection to the external LTO4, can I have problems?
I am sorry, but English is not my language.
Have a nice day.
Maury

Hello Maury,
As long as you set the SCSI ID’s of the drives different #’s then you should be good to have all drives connected to the same backup server. Also with the SAS card as long as it is in a 8x PCIe slot you should be good to go.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
