[SOLVED] Controller for Dell MD1400

[zDNG]

Hey everyone,

My employer has the opportunity to purchase a Dell MD1400 JBOD. Can anyone recommend a SAS controller card solution for that piece of hardware? It uses a 12Gbs HD-Mini SAS cable so the controller card would need to be compatible with that. This JBOD would be connected to a Dell R440 or R420 server running Windows Server 2019 Datacentre.

Thanks for any input!

PERC H830/H840 card are the cards suggested in the above linked material.

Yeah I saw that option in my research as well. I was looking for a couple other options though. I found this, and it looks like the R440 would be compatible: https://www.dell.com/en-ca/work/sho...-external-controller-low-profile/apd/405-aaes . What do you think?
