Hello everyone,
I hope you are doing well. It is my first post here in TomsHardware, so please bear with me if I did something wrong.
Here is the small story of my problem. I recently got multiple SAS drive from a friend, and I want to use them as an external storage solution. I knew that my motherboard (MSI MAG B560 TORPEDO) didn't support SAS drives. Thus, I decided to acquire an LSI MegaRAID SAS 9285CV-8E in order to connect these SAS drives to my computer. I connected this controller into my second PCI-E port and I (externally) connected the controller to the SAS hard drive via an SFF8088 to SFF8482 cable. Unfortunately, all of my effort are in vain, since nothing happens. It seems like the controller is not recognised by Windows and even by my motherboard. I tried to install some 'Server Manager Application' in order to make this controller, and the disc drive appears, but still no luck.
I would like to ask the community if somebody has encountered the same problem in the past or if someone who is specialised in this field could help me understand what is the problem and how I can resolve it.
Thank you in advance for all of your answer!
