tjm21 · 12 Dec 2011 at 21:25

Hi,

I know there is a lot of server admins and clever people here and just want to know which sas expander card is compatible with the Adaptec RAID 51245 Controller? can't find anything on the Adaptec website, googled it but still no joy.

Any help would be welcome.

cheers

This card is compatible with all these SAS expander enclosures:

The expander is built into the enclosure itself.

Thanks, I don't need the enclosure but would something like the HP SAS Expander or the Chenbro Port Expander Card CK22803-6GB?

Possibly on the Chenbro SAS expander.
Send Chenbro or Adaptec an email directly to confirm.

Probably no for the HP SAS expander.
