Question SAS to USB

[dgdunne]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect an LTO Drive that has a SFF-8088 SAS port into a MAC or PC with a USB port.

Is this even possible?? Any help would be great.

thanks!

To be honest, I doubt. SAS is highly enterprise... I'd be rather looking for add-on PCI/PCIx adapter, internal or external.

You will also need proper application which can drive that LTO, and understands the backups already there.

Thanks for the response. I reckon a PCie card will be the way to go.

Thanks again.
