Product: Z820
Hi
I am thinking of using one of our Z820 workstations small VM installation. The device is in use and not at the same site to answer this question:
I want to use a PCIe RAID card to connect 4x 2.5" SATA drives. However, from the images i can find of the internals of the Z820, the HDD/SDD rails/slots have the SATA/power connectors at the back.
Therefore, how am I able to use a different RAID controller to connect these drives whilst still allowing me to power them?
Cheers
