Hey guys,
I am trying to add a SAS HBA to my ASUS Sabertooth system. No need for disks, just a simple 6Gb/s HBA to support a LTO-7 tape drive. Any recommendations as to what works and what doesn't?
So far I have tried an Adaptec 78165 RAID controller set to HBA mode. It seems to work somehow as the BIOS extension shows up during boot (that's how got into the card's setup to set it to HBA mode, but the card never shows under W10 Pro's device manager, so I am wondering if there is another card that has been proven to work with this motherboard under W10 to save some time getting the tape working.
I contacted adaptec about the issue as well and they told me this 78165 card is an OEM version for Dell with the ID KT1V. I am having a hell of a time finding a driver for this thing.
(This has been covered in another thread and the solution is: Don't worry, the adaptec 78165 driver works for the OEM Dell version as well, no difference).
