SAS controller

Hi folks,

I'm looking for info on where I can get a "cheap" SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) controller card. I have a drive but nothing to attach it to anyone any ideas??.

Cheers,

Gerry.

I have no idea how good those are or how you would set one up but I'm sure someone here will know. they seem to be the cheapest option, but it's gonna take up 4 SATA ports, which might mean you'd have to get a SATA/RAID card for extra ports.

Cheers, seen those, wrong way round though need either a pci card with SAS ports or if possible sata to sas hdd converter.
