SAS bays for SATA drives

Is it possible to put SATA drives in the SAS bays and connect them to the SATA ports?

Thank you

Rimokatolik, your simple answer is 'yes '.  SATA drives may be plugged into the connectors SAS the Z800 and later Z8xx series workstations.  This means that the cables of the drive Bay are connected on the SAS (white) connectors on the bottom edge of the motherboard.  Small connects the SATA drives to the SAS controller.  SAS controller works with SATA drives, so you don't have to move cables to the SATA ports to make the SATA disks to work.

However, if you wish, you can connect the wiring existing SAS to SATA ports on the motherboard and put the SATA drives into the drive bays.

    Can I connect a 4th HDD SATA blue SATA2 port?
    Or are the blue SATA ports only for optical drives

    Hi rgadawg,.

    Welcome to the community.

    Blue SATA2 port must be compatible to connect to another hard drive. He should not ask any questions however, Studio XPS Installation Guide Page 57 under specifications says he has three bays for hard drives SATA 3.5 inch disk.

  • Satego X 200 - 21U - where to find the XP SATA driver for install XP

    I have laptop Satego X 200 - 21U with installed Windows Vista.
    Where can I find the driver for SATA drive so I could install Windows XP?
    HARD drive is Hitachi hts 541616j9sa00.

    Hello

    The SATA driver is part of the Intel Storage Manager.
    You can download the Storage Manager Intel since the European driver Toshiba page.

    The package contains the F6hlpy folder that contains the files needed for the SATA.

    These files must be included for the Windows XP CD using free software called nLite.

    Google for nLite to get and find more details.

  • Satellite A200-1 g (PSAECE) Win XP. Need drivers for SATA HDD and GeForce 7300

    Hi all.
    I would install XP instead of Vista on my note. As far as I know, XP has no builtin for SATA driver. I found no drivers for GeForce 7300 on the toshiba Web site. So I need drivers for SATA HDD and GeForce 7300. Where can I find them?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    Why must you SATA XP drivers? You are not able to install XP because the HARD drive is not visible?

    With regard to the nVidia drivers:
    It seems that the A200 notebooks were shipped with a different hardware configuration.
    Some laptops come with the Intel GPU and some with nVidia graphics card.
    The Intel GPU driver is available on the Toshiba page.

    Graphic driver nVidia can be downloaded from the site Web of Toshiba Canada or 3rd sites like www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com

  • PE R510 of the SAS addition to the installed system with SATA drives

    Hello

    We have a server PE510 that came with 2 drives 2 TB SATA 7.2 k and a Controller PERC SAS 6/iR.   The servers of the machine as a SQL server (its original purpose) and later on, a busy file server.  The file server role was not originally intended for this machine.  What we are seeing is very bad I/O bottleneck during daily use, although only about a dozen people access to this server.   (I got the system extracted by pressing more than once).

    I wonder if replace drives with SAS will help solve this problem.  There are 6 empty bays on the system.

    Would I be able to add 3-6 SAS disks to this system (in addition to the installed SATA disks), in order to create a new RAID volume and move the files to it on SATA volumes?   The existing SATA drives are in a RAID1 volume.

    Thank you

    Thank you

    I wonder if replace drives with SAS will help solve this problem.  There are 6 empty bays on the system.

    Replacement by SAS will probably help, but your bottleneck is your controller, not your type of disc.  There is no easy way to migrate a Windows installation of a SAS 6/iR to a PERC 6 / i, but if you were to move the PERC, you will see a substantial improvement.  The other problem is that, because you can not mix SAS and SATA disks in a virtual disk, you would have to do a backup/restore for the SAS VD (you would not be able to rebuild a SAS drive in the existing table to replace one at a time).

    Yes, you can add the SAS drives for the system and more SATA drives.  Note, however, that 1) the SAS 6/iR controller only supports 2 virtual drives, while a VD can be added, and 2) the SAS 6/iR controller only supports RAID 0 and 1, would be so the only way to add disks "3-6" in a RAID 0, which leaves your data at extreme risk.

  • How do I not what SATA driver do I need for the Satellite L300 - 03C

    How do I not what SATA driver do I need for the Satellite L300 - 03C so I can make nlite

    Hello

    Your laptop seems to be a Satellite L300 - 03C PSLB8C-03C01X.
    As already indicated on your first visit to thread the Toshiba Canada page and choose this model of laptop on the driver page.
    http://209.167.114.38/support/download/ln_bymodel.asp

    Then download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (SATA) - image of floppy drive. It of for Vista, but the files in this package should work with Win XP too.
    Include these files using nLite to create the new disk Win XP that contains SATA drivers.

    Finally use this disk to start.

    Hello, sorry

    Hello

    The SATA driver files are placed in the Intel Storage Manager which can be downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.

    This allows you to install win xp on this laptop!

    Hello

    Someone has drivers SATA for Win XP 64-bit for Satellite A300D-15B?

    Kind regards
    Ganesh

    Hello

    As far as I know this laptop Satellite A300D-15B was equipped with AMD chipset and therefore the SATA driver should be part of the ATI graphic driver.

    But you can also install the Win XP without the SATA drivers.
    In the BIOS, you will need to set the mode SATA from AHCI to compatible.

    Then you should be able to install Win XP on this laptop.
